Oops, I made a mistake. We do not record the DONOR as giving both a donation
and a $0 dues recipient. We record him/her as only giving a donation--and
the GIFTEE as a $0 dues recipient. That way the trail is clear on both
sides. I also neglected to mention that in the Pay Memo field I indicate,
for the proper record, who the gift is to and who the gift is from so I can
track that in a small way too. What I haven't dealt with yet is how to
trigger a gift of membership dues notice to the donor. Someday...
