American Legion Post 270 McLean VA - System Conversion/Upgrade 2/5/08
I am George Dailey; Vice comander of McLean American Legion Post 270; 1355 Balls Hill Road; McLean Virginia 22101. Our post raises most of its revenue by a monthly sale of Citrus Fruit we have shipped in from Florida during each month from November through April. We currently use an old SQL based system to accumulate phone and Email Citrus pre-orders, print invoices, develop the fruit order, etc for between 4 and 8 fruit product types. The product types vary each month as the season progresses. Our current system lacks the flexibility to adapt to the product and customer mix and is cumbersome to use for maintaining customer address, phone and Email information or for accumulating sale statistics.
Like most such organizations; our funds are limited. However we would very much like to upgrade our system processing from pre-ordering through Sale Summary to a Microsoft Access based system. I was wondering if you might have a student that would take on this task either as part of their classwork or as a low cost contract with our Post.
You can contact me at georgedailey1@verizon.net or phone at 703-963-1369.
Thanks very much for your consideration. George Dailey
