Bill, it's a pleasure for us, seeing you reading our meeting minutes and responding; that's the feedback we want, that's the feedback we need for doing our job well ... Maybe it looks curious that some issues seems to be done twice or done more times but please belive me/us that we try to look upstream with all things we like to do. By now, we are a "association" or a "company" call it whatever you want and fortunately and also unfortunatly we have to cover legal things, law etc. and most of theses things are discussed at our first Board meeting and were topic of the agenda. If you show us a software with which we can handle all our issues like membershio administration, invoicing, balance reports etc. which cover also additional German Law, we'll be glad to have your input! Robert is looking for more than a month for the things we need to get all issues clearly covered ... As written, feel free if you have a solution, tell us!
