> The attached email on Temporary Membership has gone out to all of those who recruit new members.  Teachers, club managers, unit and district officials, etc. are getting this info on the new Temporary Membership program.  We thought you’d also want to get a chance to see what we are sending out.
>  
> You’ll see links in the email to pages on our site.  We’ll also be putting information into the Bulletin.  The “go live” date is March 1.  We think most people will have heard about the program by then.
>  
> I’ve had questions about the timing of our rollout of Temporary Membership.  Some have said we should wait until closer to the go live date (on the theory that people will forget what we say now, by then).  Some have said we should have said more about the program, earlier.  We were more inclined to speak about it early—and would have liked to do this.  But, we were constrained by the need to be sure that we could integrate the new price into our software and accounting programs.
>  
> As you know, we are in the midst of updating both our customer management and accounting systems.  Our new Customer Relationship Management system is up and running and we are using both it and our new General Ledger system to run part of our business.  But we still have some functions on our old AS400.  We hoped to avoid duplicate effort, but in the end we had to program the Temporary Membership into the old system.  As a result, we will have to redo a little work when we move all member billing and accounting into the new system later this year.  We waited to see how the programming was going, before we finalized our March 1 release date.
>  
> Please let Bahar know if you have any questions about Temporary Membership.  We hope thousands of new members will take advantage of this opportunity to try out the ACBL.  You may of course pass on and redistribute the attached document as you feel makes sense.

> Bahar Gidwani, CEO
