    [long_help] => The NSD Next Generation (NSDNG) website is a dynamic database
 driven club information and management application. It provides
 basic information to members and prospective guests like a typical
 website. It also provides a lot of club self-service features
 to reduce the administrative effort by the competition managers, 
 dance event schedulers, directory administrator, and other
 board members for the logistics of planning and executing dance events
 and managing club rosters.

 
 And, since we are a social dance club, we want to make it easier to
 get to know more about our fellow members and guests and make it easier to invite
 more dancers to join us.

 

 
 Each member and some guests are given a login account with a specific level 
of privileges on the website.
 (more details at the login overview).
 Once logged in, members and guests (may, according to their access privilege) see 
a list of functional option links in the blue background
 navigation banner at the top and bottom of each page including:
