College Kids with diff. addresses than family unit

[1st Church]

This may sound like a dumb question but I can't find a ref. in the manual. When you have a family listed in the membership module, with children in college in another town or state, and those children want to receive the newsletter etc....how do I go about putting in a diff. address for that young adult, without removing them from the family profile and setting them up as a separate entity??

That's not a dumb question, and your idea is correct. You would have to set them up as a different entity (a separate Family Mailing List). However, once that's done, you could set up the student with an alternate address so that their college address is the default, but it can switch to their home address during the summer. Refer to p.60 of the v8 manual for more information on alternate addresses.

So then do you delete the college student from original family household when you set up the student's "new entity"?

Really no need. Just setup the Family Mailing List record for them, and do what we do. We have a mailing category called 'Courtesy Copy', which we use when we're mailing out our monthly newsletter. These records do not appear in any of the phone books, as that is not checked. They also do not have any personal profiles set up under them, as there is no need to track anyone under this record.

So when we create our mailing labels, we select mailing categories of "Member', 'Friend of APC' (these families attend but are not members) and 'Courtesy Copy'.

You may need to create this mailing category, but it takes care of the issue, and you don't have to move the student from the family group.

Hope this helps.
