For a club for retirees, East York Probus<\/a> gets a lot done. Between coffee hours, events and plenty of activities, club members like to stay busy \u2014 and they need extra capable software like WildApricot to help them do it.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this case study, we spoke to Gaylen Racine, an<\/span> initiating member of the East York Probus Club and a big part of getting WildApricot integrated into the club\u2019s operations.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe software is excellent for us; it\u2019s almost like it was designed just for us,\u201d <\/span><\/h4>\n

Gaylen said, and the more we dug into the club’s story, the more his words rang true. Gaylen told us all about East York Probus, what motivated them to seek out association management software, and how WildApricot has helped them reduce manual tasks and run operations more efficiently than ever.<\/span><\/p>\n

Before WildApricot<\/span><\/h2>\n

When the Toronto Probus Club began attracting more members than it could accommodate, East York Probus Club was formed to take in the overflow. As it turned out, so many people were interested that the second club grew much larger than initially expected.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAt our first meeting, we were going to limit membership to 150 people, but we filled up immediately,\u201d said Gaylen. \u201cWe\u2019ve now increased our membership limit to 300, with about 150 on the waitlist.\u201d<\/span><\/h4>\n

Probus clubs are places where retirees can gather to socialize, share their interests, and participate in activities like cooking, hiking and Scrabble. East York Probus Club is no different. <\/span><\/p>\n

Now 300 members strong, the club was ready to <\/span>start connecting<\/span> members with groups and activities that matched their interests. There was only one problem: efficiency.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we first started our club, we\u2019d have tables set up all around the room, and the person in charge of the walking group, for example, would collect everyone\u2019s name and email address to see if they\u2019re interested in that, and everyone else who convened an activity would have to do the same thing. Not only that, but at the same <\/span>time<\/span> they\u2019re collecting membership payments<\/span>, so<\/span> everybody had to give a check to the treasurer in the same meeting,\u201d Gaylen explained. <\/span><\/p>\n

The meetings were getting frazzled and even a bit frantic. It was clear something had to change.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI had heard of membership software before,\u201d Gaylen said. \u201cThe Toronto Club had a homemade piece of software that gave them their website and some functionality but not much, and it was a one-man band. So, we put together a committee of the two clubs to look at various forms of membership software, and there are a lot of them out there. We narrowed it down to three, then did a detailed analysis of each. WildApricot came up as the preferred candidate because it was a Canadian company, the price was good, and it provided all the functionality that we needed very well.\u201d So, Gaylen led the charge to onboard WildApricot and bring East York Probus into the digital age.<\/span><\/p>\n

Onboarding process<\/span><\/h2>\n

Due to the demographics of the club \u2014 retirees and semi-retirees \u2014 some members expressed reluctance about moving operations online. That quickly changed when they saw how much easier WildApricot could make their lives. With everything online, volunteers no longer wasted time chasing down members to submit dues payments, fill out renewal applications or sign up for events and activities. <\/span><\/p>\n

Everything would be through WildApricot\u2019s robust, capable software rather than on paper, making operations <\/span>not only smoother but<\/span> infinitely more secure.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite an initial adjustment period, WildApricot\u2019s user-friendly interface proved agile and easy to use while maintaining a high level of functionality. <\/span>\u201cInitially, there was a fair amount of training for members and volunteers,” Gaylen said. \u201cBut now we just have quick online tutorials for things like how to join and leave a group because it\u2019s just that simple. It\u2019s been smooth going all around.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to the software itself being intuitive and easy to use, Gaylen shared that WildApricot\u2019s support website made the process even more straightforward. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWildApricot has a great website. It\u2019s just extraordinary. You can find anything on there,\u201d Gaylen said. Whenever Gaylen or other members had questions, help was easy to find.<\/span><\/h4>\n

Benefits and functionality<\/span><\/h2>\n

Gaylen\u2019s top benefit of using WildApricot and his best advice for other organizations are one and the same: the<\/span> protection of volunteers.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt really comes down to protecting your volunteers,” Gaylen said. \u201cIt\u2019s hard to get volunteers these days. Everybody\u2019s got stuff going on. They want to participate, but they don\u2019t want to get stuck doing grunt work.\u201d <\/span><\/h4>\n

Before WildApricot, East Probus volunteers were tasked with quite a bit of grunt work: activity leaders had to set up tables and get members to sign up for activities manually<\/span>, while<\/span> the treasurer had to collect checks from each member and haul them to the bank once a month.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks to WildApricot, the club has <\/span>all but<\/span> eliminated manual tasks, freeing up volunteer time to focus on driving value where it counts. Core operations like renewals, payment processing, and signing up for events and activities have all migrated seamlessly online. Monthly meetings are no longer a mad dash to collect checks and sign up for activities, allowing members and volunteers alike to use the time to socialize and catch up with friends instead.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe coffee hour can <\/span>actually<\/span> be a social hour now,\u201d Gaylen said. \u201cYou get to see people and talk to people instead of worrying about whether <\/span>anybody\u2019s going to<\/span> join this activity you set up. It enhances the amount of social interaction we have, which is great. And we weren\u2019t even thinking about that when we chose WildApricot, but it\u2019s made a huge difference. People can converse now instead of grabbing their coffee and lining up for the three different activities that they want to sign up for.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Of course, the club\u2019s treasurer no longer has to make monthly trips to the bank thanks to automatic payment processing. “I think the treasurer actually benefits the most from all of this,\u201d Gaylen said, chuckling.<\/span><\/p>\n

Setting up events was also a Herculean effort without association management software. “Before, everyone would have to make up their own email list to invite people to a particular activity, then collect responses and find out <\/span>who\u2019s going to<\/span> be there and deal with all that. So, there was a lot of manual work associated with that <\/span>too<\/span>,\u201d Gaylen said. Now, the club sets up all events and activities using pre-made templates, simplifying processes, cutting back manual effort, and increasing the number and kind of events members can participate in thanks to the increased bandwidth.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe set-up is all there, all I have to do is fill in the pictures and the dates, then off it goes. I just sit there and wait for responses to come back. I don\u2019t have to chase anybody down or anything like that. Being able to set up events is a big deal for us,\u201d Gaylen said.<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Advocating for WildApricot<\/span><\/h2>\n

East York Probus has derived so much value from WildApricot that Gaylen has become its unofficial advocate. On his own time, Gaylen gives presentations to other Probus clubs in Canada and beyond about WildApricot and how it can help streamline their operations. Titled \u201cWhat WildApricot can do for your Probus Club,\u201d the presentation highlights the features and benefits of the software <\/span>and demonstrates<\/span> to other organizations how WildApricot can simplify processes, cut down on grunt work, keep members in the loop, and help things run more efficiently all around.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve done a fair amount to try to promote WildApricot because the software is so good, Gaylen said. \u201cIt’s been excellent for us. It\u2019s almost like it was designed for us. And everybody I know has found it very useful.\u201d <\/span><\/strong>Thanks, Gaylen!<\/span><\/h4>\n

Advice to other organizations<\/span><\/h2>\n

As a seasoned volunteer and advocate for Probus clubs, Gaylen understands the challenges organizations face in managing operations smoothly and securely. Reflecting on the value that WildApricot has brought to East York Probus, he shares his top piece of advice for other clubs considering an association management solution:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNumber one, save your volunteers. Number two, save your club, because what you\u2019re doing is consolidating everything. <\/span>All your history is sitting in there, <\/span>all your<\/span> activities, <\/span>all your<\/span> historic membership roles, <\/span>everything.<\/span> Without this software, it tends to be distributed in all these systems that do not interact. And it\u2019s inefficient, but it\u2019s also insecure. WildApricot covers both: it\u2019s secure, efficient, and then some. You only have to enter an email address one time. It\u2019s just slick. It\u2019s really slick.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

East York Probus Club\u2019s experience shows how the right software can <\/span>totally<\/span> transform an association\u2019s operations. With WildApricot, the club has significantly reduced manual tasks, streamlined event management <\/span>and<\/span> empowered volunteers to focus on meaningful interactions rather than administrative work. The intuitive interface and robust support resources have made it easy for club members to embrace digital tools, creating a more efficient, connected <\/span>and<\/span> enjoyable environment for everyone involved.<\/span><\/p>\n

For East York Probus, WildApricot has <\/span>truly<\/span> been a game-changer \u2014 providing them with the tools they need to run smoothly and focus on what matters most: building a vibrant, more connected community where everyone has time to do the things they love. <\/span><\/p>\n
