Foster reported he was able to open the 'access' database and can confirm that it arrived intact. B. Foster will ask MB Foster staff to convert it to an Image database. Are membership and mailing list sign-up processes connected? Clean-up of the data is necessary. Whole membership process needs to be examined.
