Club Membership Campaign (CMC) is designed to help clubs, civic organizations, hobby groups, nonprofits, and member-driven organizations track their fund raising campaigns. Each campaign can have a wide variety of events, including; Raffles, 50/50 drawings, Auctions, Bake/Product sales, Tournaments, Donations, Ticket Sales, Special Events, Sponsorship Drives, Membership Drives, Giving Tuesdays, Grant Applications, Recurring Monthly Giving and up to 5 user created types of fund raising events. CMC is a module of the Club Membership Suite (CMS) of apps Mark has designed to help the volunteers who run these clubs do their jobs without being overwhelmed. While CMM manages member records, dues, contact information, and membership status, CMC focuses on:

  • Tracking Expenses
  • Results
  • Communication with members, sponsors and donors

    Letters to NJMUG

    Date: 2/9/2022

    To the New Jersey Macintosh Users Group,

    I'm now a 51-year-old professional in New York City, but I grew up in New Jersey at a time when Apple was first rolling out the Macintosh. I now have two teenage sons myself, and after I was discussing what I did for extracurricular activities in high school, on a lark I looked up the New Jersey Macintosh Users Group, which I was involved in starting up. I was absolutely delighted to find the web page below referencing my participation, and I wanted to say thank you so much for memorializing the group's history. I'm glad it continues, and I'm writing to say how much I appreciate the costless but meaningful gesture of remembering the group's history. I'm only sorry I wasn't on a mailing list to be able to commemorate the 20th anniversary! Wishing best of luck, and another 35 years of success, to the New Jersey Macintosh Users Group!

    Very truly yours,

    Michael ("Mike") Waldorf
