I want to know how they think it is "working well" since they just started it a week ago. :-) Besides "cutting" in line in front of "shared" cards, the system relies on a high councilor going to the temple weekly and retrieving the cards and returning them to stake members. Does that sound like a good way to lose cards to you?? Michele In a message dated 5/15/2013 9:25:25 A.M.

This is the system they developed to serve 16 stakes. It is working very well. Patrons bring in their cards to be filed with their stake file drawers that are set up in foyer area. Each week the stake coordinators come in to pick up the completed cards and take back to their stakes to be returned to the persons. (the stake do maintain membership lists within their stakes, which is possible through stake/ward website via lds.org) To each temple a system is developed whatever work best. The ones I released to temple system are still there since 2009. My stake is assigned to 3 different temples due to language restrction at Salt Lake Temple which is English only. My stake has 4 different languages, English, Japanese (Dai Ichi, oldest Japanese speaking ward), Spanish and ASL (sign language.) This is something your stake might consider as a way forward to help members get more done. W.
