On this page learn about:
1) Assistant Secretary Database versions
2) Masonic Classification, Lodge Handouts, Help Videos
3) Assistant Secretary System Requirements
Assistant Secretary Database versions:
1) Assistant Secretary 3.5 - This is our full
version. If you are looking for the best Masonic Database for your
Lodge, look no further. The Assistant Secretary 3.5 includes the
most benefits, and features of any product currently on the market, at a
lower price. Please do not confuse "lower price" with cheap;
our total package is well worth the money spent. We invite
you to download the Assistant Secretary, read the help
manual, and review the videos.
2) Assistant Secretary 3.5 SE - This is similar to
our full version except it does not include minutes, letters, or report
designer windows. In testing, we found that many Brothers simply
wanted a database to keep track of membership and found our basic
reports suited their needs. In
addition, with our export feature, they were able to create their own
letters (using merge) in the editor of their choice (e.g. MS Word, Word
Perfect, Open Office). If you purchase SE and find you want the
full version later, you can purchase the upgrade without fear of losing
information.
3) Assistant Secretary 3.5 LT - This version ships
with both Assistant Secretary 3.5 and Assistant Secretary 3.5 SE.
It excludes the Masonic Classification System and Lodge Handouts,
although both e-books can be activated upon purchase of Assistant
Secretary 3.5 or SE. LT was built for Brothers who do not have a
fast internet connection but want to test the program. Pay only
shipping to receive the CD, but can activate at any time by purchasing
Assistant Secretary 3.5 or SE.
All versions ship with the Masonic Classification
System, Lodge Handouts, and Help Videos.
Masonic Classification System
is similar to the Dewey Decimal System, except it was developed for
Masonic Libraries. The Assistant Secretary has the ability to
track items checked out (e.g. books). We support Masonic education,
so we included the Classification System with hopes your Lodge will
develop a library or improve on the current library.
Lodge Handouts are used to help the Lodge
Secretary during meetings to keep track of visiting
members. The handouts are also useful during the setup of
Assistant Secretary 3.5.
The Help Videos were
originally developed to answer a specific support question. At the
time, it seemed that 90% of our support questions were in reference to
one part of the database. We developed a video, and the
next time someone asked the question, we sent him a link to the video.
With the normal response being a big "THANK YOU," we
decided to built more
videos. We now aske that Brothers review the videos before
starting work in the Assistant Secretary. The help videos
are another way to familiarize yourself with the Assistant Secretary 3.5.
