Not only will you get good comments and suggestions that you didn’t consider, but you will make your members feel valued and make them more receptive to the plans and outcomes. The last thing anyone wants to stomach is a half baked plan. Posted: Feb 28, 2017 To View Post Details: Click on above image or title.

Not only to eliminate the handling and tracking of cheques and cash but, perhaps even more important, to automate the creation and updates of member, donors, events and finance records.
