Greetings!

 

As the new year of 2011 already seems so far away, although onlyless than 3 weeks ago, we are very busy at Chaverware preparing the next release of Chaverware, version 5.5 and more enhancements to ChaverWeb. We are expecting a pre-release of Chaverware 5.5 in the next couple of weeks with full release by the end of March.


Some of the new features in Chaverware 5.5 are:
  • Added support for QuickBooks 2011 editions.
  • Added support for QuickBooks Enterprise Accountant's edition as well as for version 11.
  • Added built in support for jobs/classes for all supported versions of QuickBooks and Peachtree versions.
  • Integrated Constant Contact through "Send to"  menu.
  • Reports can now be filtered for inactive Yahrzeits.
  • Report filter screen now stays open in between reports.
  • Added group security capability to notes.
  • Added default note security option setting.
There are many more small enhancements and fixes beyond the list above. We will send out another email once Chaverware 5.5 is fully released. 

Please see the important help below about Tax Letter preparation.

Wishing you a joyous Tu B'Shvat,

Tax Letter Season

Many of you have already successfully printed your tax letters for 2010. If you haven't please read some 
important guidance about printing your tax letters.

Purim is around the Corner

Did you know that you have the ability to manage Mishloach Manot within Chaverware. If you run a Shalach Manot (Mishloach Manot) program at your Synagogue, you have two different options for managing this program right from Chaverware. 

1. There is an entire module (built in) that can help you manage Shalach Manot. It handles reciprocity, labels, card inserts, lists and more.

2. There is an online Shalach Manot add-on to ChaverWeb that will allow you to manage the entire project online. You will have all of the features mentioned above, but now your members and/or your volunteers can do their own data entry without ever having to come into your office! (Requires Chaverware 5 and ChaverWeb for full integration, can be run as a stand alone as well)
