The flat file FileMaker-Pro-based database issued by Claris
exclusively for user group administrators does all of that and
more. Besides the usual contact data (member name, date, type,
etc.) it can generate by month or ytd lists of dues payments,
birthdays, member expirations, renewals; personalized form letters
(welcome, renewal notices, etc.); statistics, demographics, and
lots more, even membership cards. Among the cons are its dated
looks and that it is non-relational. Otherwise, it's a rather
amazingly comprehensive database.
Suggestions for other record-keeping that user groups may find
useful could include a record of assets (computers, projectors,
bank accounts, their value, locations, and custodians) and resource
catalogs (training CDs, books.)

The HMAUS DB has fields for tracking members' equipment, software and
needs. This is used to generate reports for planning the club's
programming each year. Also had fields for noting under what member
event, program or activity he/she joined. And who referred or brought
the member into the organization.
It didn't have tables for tracking club assets. I can see how useful
tracking that would be.
Shirley, if you find the DB I'd like to see it so that I'd be able to
incorporate its good features.
