[Groop] Groop Membership Cards

[Tone]

Eric,
	I already knew what the old card looks like, and I understand
the new card will look very much the same. I was not asking Gary what
the card will look like overall. I wanted to clarify if it had been
determined what would be written out as the "Member Since ####" text.
Gary had asked if people had suggestions of better wording for that
line, and a bunch of people threw in their suggestions including myself.
After some time Gary then said something, which made me think he could
get each persons card to say individually what they wanted there, but I
thought that was odd considering the complexity of coordinating all of
those separate cards.
	Now that Gary has stated he could go ahead and get the cards for
about $5 a piece, I just wanted some confirmation of what the text in
that phrase will be if it is universal for the entire Groop. Otherwise
with all the different suggestions floating around I would think it
would be confusing for Gary to distinguish which phrase each person
wants on their card(s).
	As far as that Groop member number list, which you posted a link
to, I also got the impression from what was being said the member
numbering would not be so strict for this round of cards. Personally, I
would much rather see a more "official" numbering system, which respects
all past chosen numbers.
	With all that in mind I can once again confirm for Gary I want
three cards, all with the membership number "0808", which apparently has
not been taken yet. Two of those cards should have the name "Tone" and
the third card should have the name "Antonio Rodrigues" spelled as is
with an "S" (not a "Z"). However, I do not know what I can request as my
desired "member since ####" line because I do not believe that was
completely decided upon. That phrase and/or any other optional choices
are what I am now inquiring about. I DO KNOW I became a member of the
Groop in 2005 if that helps speed things up for Gary, but if some other
option is available I want to understand what that is.

	I can certainly see why Gary became stressed over the first
round of membership cards, considering the occurrence of even the
slightest miscommunication throughout the process. Once again, thank you
Gary for organizing this for everyone.
