Ok, try this (it works for me):
Go to the www.ptg.org/ page (*not* my.ptg.org - the (expletive deleted) social media site),
Log into the "Member Area",
Click on "Directories",
This should bring up the the Member Directory page.
This page has fairly powerful search tools for:
_General Member Search
_Chapter Searcch
_Zip Code Search
_Services Offered Search
Filling in *any* box in these search tools should yield
most of the data formerly available in the printed Directory
including RPT/Member status, postal address, phone number, e-mail address, etc.
I simply added a link to this Directory page to my home screen on my phone (and laptop).
I hope it will work for you too.

However, the requirement to search by chapter number is time consuming because the listing is organized by number, not by state and city. It should be possible to make this function more convenient. ------------------------------ Ed Sutton ed440@me.com <ed440@me.com> (980) 254-7413

My problem is that I frequently get asked for referrals in other areas, but when I go to the website I most often cannot find email addresses, physical addresses, or sometimes even phone numbers. There seems to be a disconnect between what used to be readily available in the print edition and what shows up in "Higher Logics" online presentation. ddf -- Delwin D FandrichFandrich Piano Company, Inc.Piano Design and Manufacturing Consulting Services -- Worldwide6939 Foothill Ct SW -- Olympia, WA 98512 -- USAPhone 360.515.0119 -- Mobile 360.388.6525 Original Message------ I started this thread 10 days ago and didn't expect the very positive response from many members. Paul and Larry, your points are well taken and are valid. Cost is a factor and paper usage another. Cost? Three factors that could offset this: Printing every two or three years, the sale of advertising, and a nominal charge to those who order the directory in advance. The waste of paper? I suggest that there is a place for some paper usage in today's world, especially in an item that is so widely used by our membership. Personally, when I receive a call from an unknown technician about keytop replacement, I can quickly look him/her up in the directory to see if they are a PTG member while talking to them. As Robin Nelson stated, many are some distance from a copy facility or don't have the ability to print their own copy. Going Green? When I see the myriad of catalogs that clog my mailbox daily, now THERE is a waste of paper that is often thrown away immediately upon receipt. Let's keep asking the powers that be at PTG to bring back a valuable member resource that is used by many sometimes daily, kept for years and is easy and convenient to use. It is a tangible benefit to the rank and file of our organization. PLEASE BRING IT BACK !! ------------------------------ Mike Kurta, RPT N.
