NEWSLETTER

ANNUAL REPORT:

We’ve printing 350 Newsletters every month and mailing out about 200 to members each month during 2013

We were printing 400 newsletters per month when I took over newsletter in January, which I cut to 350 copies. If George Otto agrees, I will gradually cut the number of copies printed each month a little more.

Postage totaled about $1100 for the year and printing costs totaled about $3500 for the year.

So it makes a lot of sense for us to push the electronic newsletter, because this is a significant expense.

Approximately 75 Newsletters are given to Minstrel each month for distribution.

Since we have been hosting concerts that bring in a lot of new people, we’ve been making an effort to make sure that new attendees are given a newsletter so they see all the wonderful things we do.

As part of Membership Outreach, Carl Croce distributes about 40 copies per month at Open Mike venues.

I need to make a greater effort to get newsletters to give Swingin’ Tern on a more consistent basis.

I have told the next Newsletter Chairperson that I will continue handling distribution of the hard copies of the Newsletter during 2014.

Patricia Brangs
