I wondered about this when I re-upped Saturday. I didn't mind filling out the card, with information they already had. I was surprised there was not a space provided to just write in the member number and skip the rest. I could see someone was probably in for a few days of keypunching.Charles L.

Having to fill out a paper registration form is very time consuming for our Regional Directors and anyone else signing up members. Then our office staff have to input this information in the database. I want to be able to provide scanners and then upload the data to our database. This would be much faster for everyone and it would reduce the opportunity for errors due to poor handwriting, keypunch errors, etc.

Charles, on a related subject, I'm not a hat guy, but I took the cap and bag given me, as usual. I know those things cost $5 or more for a nice cap like that - 20% of the dues. I would suggest you give the new/renewed member a coupon redeemable for a cap or equivalent item inside at a TSRA booth. Then they can skip it and let TSRA keep the money, get something else they would use. It would also save the cost of some of those plastic bags
