<p>We have completed Phase Two of the WRPS email and website upgrade restructure which is designed to implement three new website add-ons. These will improve the database for membership management and the processes for joining the Society, for making donations, will automate our membership renewals and create receipts.</p>



<p>It also improves our email communications by giving us the capacity to use a new, streamlined and efficient method of email and newsletter communication using an app called Mailchimp. This will make a big difference to making our processes more efficient and less time-consuming.</p>



<p>We successfully applied for funding contribution of $1,000 for this from the Waitākere Ranges Local Board.<br>We acknowledge this funding from the Waitākere Ranges Local Board and thank them for their contribution to the website upgrade and for their investment in WRPS.</p>
