I decided to create a web based system to process the registrations, using iPhones and iPads. We ordered some bluetooth scanners to facilitate scanning barcoded bills. In anticipation of this, I had our bill print vendor add the account & Sub-account number to our members bills. When the barcode scanners came, they appeared a little cumbersome, so we then found the "iCody" app, which uses the internal camera as a barcode scanner and inputs the scan into a web form. It is perfect!
This is our third year using the program, and we are pretty much at the conclusion it has been tweaked about all we can tweak it.
We had planned for 4 operators, butthe registration process was moving too fast, so we have to shut down 2 stations after about 5 minutes.
We registered almost 500 members in less than 30 minutes.
If you would like to be notified when I make changes to these pages, just let me know.

Thanks,
For 2013, we only made a few changes to the system.
Setup was so easy, we only had to bring the following:
Here is a picture of one of the registration desks.
More members bring their bills now than ever before, 72% actually.
Here are some videos of the program in action at our August 8, 2013 meeting.
Here is the registration table at our 2012 meeting. We had 2 tables, with 3 people at each table. One person used the iPhone to scan the barcodes on the bill. Another person had the iPad to look up and register any member that did not bring their bill. The last person handed out the meal and prize tickets.
This allowed us to register 4 members at a time.
Here are some of the screens.
