The website will automatically email them the 2019 New Member Welcome Packet.
Additional Notes
When you are approving the verified applicants after the newsletter comes out, make sure you pay attention to the application date so that you are only approving the people whose names were in the newsletter.
For example, if the most recent Nink came out on May 1, then on May 15 we should approve April applicants only, NOT people who were verified in May after the newsletter came out.
Then, on June 15, we should approve applicants who were verified back in May.
If a member does not pay their dues, an admin should bump their status down from Member to APPROVED APPLICANT, rather than delete the user.
This allows lapsed members to log in and pay dues without needing to apply all over again.
