How to auto copy/pull information from a master tab to several work sheets

I am creating a spreadsheet that has a master tab of information and will contain information such as name, address, status, paid status, method, etc. then I want to have seperate tabs that have all the people who paid in 2008 another for 2009 one that shows all active members and another that shows alumni. Does anyone know how to do this? Please help. I need very specific step by step (easy - 5th grade language) instructions.



Example of Master Tab
