Volume 10, Issue 1 - February 2021 Earthrise vol10 Issue 1

In this issue:

• AGM Update
• Product News / Nouveaux produits
• Upcoming Launches
• Eggtimer GPS Build
• Rage at the Gage

Now that we have moved to the new membership site there are a few new things members can try out.  Over the next months, we will be sharing what they are and how to use them these quick newsletters. 

First up

So, what is up with this Wild Apricot thing?  Wild Apricot is our new service provider for web services, membership database, events calendar, and other features.   One feature, WA has developed an app that links to your information and fellow rocketeers.  Changed your email, now you can update that. 

For iOS and for Android.  Have a look at the Wild Apricot Blog:

With the app and on your profile page in any browser, your CAR/ACF card can be accessed, printed, or just used via the app to show your membership status, certification level, and RI level.  This is a replacement for the plastic cards that have been sent out over the last few years. 

Next Month

Next newsletter will be using the Events Page to highlight your event, track who is interested in attending and communicating with those members. 

Thanks

On Behalf of the CAR/ACF Exec. 

Hi All

Yes I have to change the administrator name but the great news, a new membership processing site is here!!  Coupled with a new look and feel for the webpages. 

The old CARWeb will transform to this site soon.  Sadly though,  Shane's work with built-in automation for document management and auto update of content with bulk data and integrated forum access will be missed.  

The rational for this change was to automate the membership processing side of the house, which for the most part has not changed since the year 2000.  Some automation has happened, yes but I still get paper, process it and send out paper. 

I hope you like the changes and please provide feedback to the Exec on these changes .
