A Note About Variables

There are embedded variables in the template that correspond to various values including the member's first and last name ($$FIRST_NAME$$ and $$LAST_NAME$$) and the chapter name ($$FULLCHAPTER$$).

Tip: Try testing the member welcome template before changing any of the variables. Then change the variables after reviewing the test email.
