<p class="MsoNormal">Not sure which way SCCLS will go yet. I know we need to do something that will make donor retention and reporting easier than spreadsheets or notebooks. However, I don’t think that we are ready for a full-on implementation of a database
that requires a lot of training and daily maintenance. If the collective brain of this group has other suggestions, please share.
