| I received a call recently at 10:00 pm concerning one of my church members who was in the emergency room because of a car accident. I knew the name of this man, but couldn't remember his wife's name or what any of the family members looked like. With Access ACS, I was able to look up the family record, find out the name of the wife and children, and even see their family photo. It felt good to be able to walk into that waiting room and immediately recognize her and call her by name. |

| I have 2 children in the Youth department at our church - one in 9 th grade and one in 11 th grade. They are always on the go and doing things with the youth department, and I have trouble remembering where they are and what they are doing. I can now go online and look at the Youth department calendar whenever I want to see what activities are occurring and where they are located. Now I can keep up with my teenagers! I can even see what's coming next month so I can plan better! |

| I'm the church administrator at my church, and it's my job to create and mail a weekly newsletter to our members. To save postage costs and get the newsletter out faster, I decided to offer it by email to members who prefer it that way. |
| Here's how I did it... First, I needed to enable members to let me know how they prefer the newsletter. Therefore, I created a User Defined Field in ACS called "Want your newsletter emailed?" Then, using Access ACS, each member was able to login to Access ACS and mark whether or not they wanted it emailed. As members selected their preference, I would accept their change requests back into my ACS database. So, the next time I created our newsletter, I emailed it to half our membership and saved money from the original church postage costs. Plus, those members received the newsletter quicker and in a format that they prefer. |
