member list

If it were me, I'd simply keep the list in Excel. Make columns for whatever you need, no need to have more or less. It's a common tool and you should easily be able to recruit a volunteer with skills to work in it.

One hint - you need to be able to sort by last name. So break your name fields out. (First Name, Last Name).

For membership cards... first do you really NEED them? Who uses them? I've never yet been with a parent group where the members held on to their cards, so for any member cross-checking, we had to have a list anyway. (Like if they would show their card for a discount or to vote.)

But if you do need them, I'd simply create the cards in Word and merge from Excel. Use a business card template. Merging can be intimidating to some, but it's a very powerful tool. Definitely worth learning for PTO tasks - or find a volunteer who already uses Merge.

I'd either print on cardstock and cut with a paper cutter (remember to add light grid lines to your document). Or buy perferated business card stock. I checked just now on Amazon and saw boxes of 200-250 for about $12. (Comes in letter-size sheets. You separate after printing.)

If printing myself, I wouldn't do anything that required printing front and back. It can be done, but it's usually a pain.

Good luck.
