Hi Everyone,
At our local AAW meeting this past month, I was elected to the position of Secretary (in addition to the post of Treasurer). Currently our members receive a general meeting notice thru the postal service. I'd like to "upgrade" that to include a newsletter.
Do you send one out monthly, or quarterly? If monthly, does postage take a big chunk out of the treasury? (right now we send the general notice to about half the people thru the USPS, and then everyone who has an email address gets a notice sent there). To send out 12 newsletters a year to each member, it would cost $4.44 per year per person. Is that an issue, or do the benefits outweigh the expense?
Most importantly, what type of content do you include? I can see meeting notices, tools for sale... What else?
Any other things I should know about from your experience?
Thanks a lot for your help!
