This is not what I was thinking.
Keep in mind that the Basecamp data is in a different database than Club Central and the db is a third party DB (Cornerstone On-Demand). TI *does* control the Club Central database, but likely does *not* control the underlying Basecamp db.
So the solution is *not* to make changes to the Basecamp DB to add another email address.
What WHQ should do instead is add another field to the Club Central DB, and label it Basecamp Manager Email Address. This new email address would be *in addition* to the contact email address that clubs already enter in Club Central.
Then TI should configure Basecamp to use the *new email address* instead of the contact email address. It would still be only one email address for Basecamp, it would just be a different one.
With this approach, clubs would still have a separate contact email address that shows up in Find a Club for guests and new members to contact the club. However, they would also have a hidden email address entered in Club Central for the Basecamp Manager.
Lastly, then if I create a new FTH email address, say basecampmgr-####@toastmastersclubs.org that only works for emails from basecamp@toastmasters.org, clubs could enter that in Club Central, and voila! it all just works.
Easy Peasy!

Excellent! Strength in numbers! Everyone should also suggest this... make our voices loud and in unison.
I really do not think it is package app either...

I have also submitted a request to have Toastmasters International Web Site updated to add a contact email for Basecamp to the TI Website.
Unless the Toastmasters International Website is a package app, which I don't believe it is, this is a pretty easy change.
