1.  General System Concepts

        The Church Visitation system (CVS) is designed to help you keep
        track of all your contacts.

        Within the Visitation System, you simply enter all your people.
        Each time a visit is made you can record the visit, or contact,
        along with pertinent information, and notes about the visit.
