If your structure really is just like that, then the simplest way is:

<xsl:template match="member">
  <member>
    <lastname><xsl:value-of select="lastname"/></lastname>
    <firstname><xsl:value-of select="firstname"/></firstname>
    <email><xsl:value-of select="email"/></email>
  </member>
</xsl:template>
