I use Constant Contact for our group and it really is very convenient... shows who received the email, bounces, etc., etc. Much more efficient than regular emails. It IS very inexpensive. Almost nothing for under 500 "subscribers," more for more, of course. And can do great surveys, too. It would be a good way to keep in closer contact with ALL GSDCA members who have internet and can receive emails.

As for the REVIEW, would seem a very slow process for news information that needs to be announced in a very timely fasion - like immediately. Why does it COST for a mail out to all members?? Seems like one committee person could have the list and e-mail all members keeping them informed and asking for assistance!! The GSDCA has a Constant Contact account which is used to send an email message to those who have email. It does cost something to send but is relatively cheap. The way to really reach all members is to put something in the Review. Do an informative article listing the various organizations, etc. The Board meets the end of April so if you work up something to send to Board members by the beginning of April (they need time to read it), the Board can decide whether to send out the information via Constant Contact.
