different address husband/wife

Post by JanetG »

How can I send our church newsletter to a household where wife is home, husband is at a nursing home. I want both to receive the newsletter, but they are one household.

In our church, we obligate this task to our visitation ministry. These members receive media, weekly bulletins, and other correspondences from our church. Our deacons provide the primary visitations. In many cases, where the member may live outside of our immediate locality, a family member would keep the convalescent member up-to-date with these articles. Also with the advent of email and other web resources, some members are able to receive these articles online.

I do acknowledge that your delima provides a challenge for Power Church (PC). If you have received an answer or identified a way to get this accomplished via PC(v9), please share it with us.

You may want to create a separate mailing list category of 'newsletter only' ( or whatever you decide ) to track addresses that only sent the newsletter to.

We have a categeory called 'Courtesy Copy', these are former members who want to continue getting the newsletter, local churchs in the area, etc. These do not require any personal profile entries.

This allows us to create a mailing list record for such an issue. So what you would have is a member record that lists Mr & Mrs Jones' home address, which also has their personal profiles. Then you would create a 'newsletter' mailing list record for Mr. Jones listing his nursing home address.

Hope this helps.
