[UCIMC-Tech] Membership Updates

[Chris Ritzo]

Hey again! After working through a few more options in CiviCRM, I think we
can do this with one form.

The new/renewing member form is online here:
http://ucimc.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=1

This form is live and working now. Let me know what you think. We can make
this form URL be ucimc.org/membership after I install another Drupal module.
