The content of the mailing lists is often more valuable to me than a newsletter anyway. All we need to add is a schedule of local, national, and international events and maybe a few articles, stories, a calendar, and member profiles. Without postage and printing, dues should be minimal. Those who are "web-challenged" could view or get printouts from someone online (probably in glorious B & W). If this is organized right, things could come together fairly easily.
The joint meets with other marques look good. We could also have club meetings in connection with SUNI and Alpine 260s United events. Someone could post an informal writeup of events they attended, including scanned pictures. Each local "Cell" could even have space on a club web page. Anyone want to start a Cell in Southern Oregon/No. California?
