The new Membership Cards were designed to easily be completed using a printer. However, we understand there may be some difficulty on some printers with the ink smudging on the glossy paper. The use of a laser printer avoids this, but they may not be readily available.

We have created two types of templates and instructions for printing your cards: printing directly on the membership cards and printing on labels to place on the cards.

Printing directly on the cards:
Instructions and a template for your use are provided below. In addition, we have provided a template to use with Mail Merge (see Instructions).
