Did you know that clubs and districts using MyEventRunner for their events can now specify a  quantity "limit per person" on the add-ons sold? 

Often times, clubs and Districts will sell add-ons, such as raffle tickets, meal tickets, etc., based on the type of event they are hosting.

We've now added a field, where you can specify a purchase limit for each person, if a limit is required. To add a limit, simply enter the quantity limit, when creating an add-on or simply leave the field blank, if there is no limit.

Tip of the Week!

It's Membership Month and no doubt, your club is in full swing to keep current and prospective members engaged. Many clubs these days now use various social media channels to promote their club activities, in addition to using their club website. Did you know that you can now plug-in your Facebook and Twitter accounts to your site, to display your most recent posts right on your website?

If your club is using Version 3.0, you can now add a Facebook Like Box as well as your Twitter feed on your site. 
The Facebook Like box is a social plug-in that enables Facebook page owners to attract and gain likes from their own site. It displays the number of likes your Facebook page has, the recent posts and gives website visitors the option to like the page, without leaving your website. You can even customize the Facebook Like Box based on your personal preference, and can choose which options you want to display. Kindly note, this is a different widget than the built-in Facebook Like button, that is available through ClubRunner. The built Facebook Like button that you can choose from the widgets list on ClubRunner allows website visitors to like your website only.

For instructions on adding the Facebook Like box to your website, please refer to the following article on our knowledgebase: http://clubrunner.helpserve.com/Knowledgebase/Article/View/804/0/adding-a-facebook-like-box

Similar to Facebook's Like Box, you can also add a widget to display your Twitter stream on your website. You also will have the option to customize the appearance of the widget.

Did you know that you can now create your own template to send to new members and even have the ability to edit the system generated email?

To help you welcome your new members, you always had the ability to send an email to the member once they had been added to your member roster notifying them of the same. You can now customize your own email template email with the available mail merge fields and can create as many versions as you like. When adding a new member, you can then select which template you would like to send. Further to creating your own welcome email, you now also have the ability to edit the existing system generated email.

To do so, simply click on the Communication tab on the Admin Page and then on Email Templates.

Rotary Districts, did you know a new report is available to help you keep track of the size of all your clubs?
