The Applications

Originally the program was to a track brother's addresses and dues paid. Since then it has been expanded to include a record of most Masonic information relating to the brother.

Development Philosophy

Rather than break development into numerous distinct Versions the philosophy at WorkingTools Software is to undergo a continuous process of development and refinement.  This process has been found the most practical rout to take to add new features and refine old ones in response to feedback from users.  Within the application is a menu Item titled "updates" by selecting this item a download process will begin downloading the particular update files required for the user. To install the update the users is required to close Lodge Secretary's Assistant and open the downloaded files which are designed to expand into the Default directory of C:\Program Files\Secretary.  This process  at this time can be done for no charge for downloads over the internet and if the user wishes to have a new CD sent a subscription service is available at $30.00 a year for updates to be sent approximately 2 times a year.

A lodge management program like any database can be "Roughed out" within days; the time to painstakingly analyse each step and implement the refinements is the part of the development process that takes the time.  WorkingTools Software has done this analyse for you.
