Good morning! I have a question about museum membership. We do not have a
membership secretary, so membership duties are handled by our office
manager. Because of this, our memberships go from January 1-December 31,
with some exceptions case by case. Currently, she has to put business-card
sized membership cards into her typewriter and individually fill each one
out with the member's name, expiration date, and membership category. The
membership cards are basically business cards with our logo and a few lines
to write or type information on. As you can imagine, this is time consuming,
frustrating, and impractical in many ways. We would very much like a
different method of doing this. We looked into getting sheets of business
cards that would be filled out on the computer, but if we get a new member
in, say, June, filling out one card on the computer would mean wasting the
other 9 cards on the sheet. Once one card is torn off, the sheet cannot be
fed through the printer. I hope that I have explained this in an
understandable fashion. If anybody has a membership system that they are
happy with, I would greatly appreciate your input. Thank you!
