*******Template to export current member list *****************
please visit here to get templates. You can get member templates if we agree that
we would like to make the people in the database members. If not, then use the
non-member template and this will require all of them to register and become
members (many will not go through the trouble).Feel free to keep many of the fields depopulated.Chandra can help you add more custom fields.
Also in parallel - we should be thinking about what kind
of content we would like to add to this, how we should organize it etc.Ideally - when you have completed the
database, the content is ready as well, and we can get send out bulk emails,
newsletters, etc.
It would be good to put an email together on the overall
strategy for content.

asks for my login password on the side)

large click for my groups website that is jain center of memphis or jain
leadership - any one that i am signed up for.

select groups EC or pathshala group etc.
