Print vs electronic

[Vidal]

Do we know how many members do not have an e-mail address associated with their membership? For those that do, it seems safe to assume that they have internet access, can download a digital copy of DG and, if they want, print out a paper copy to read or carry around. There' no cost to the club for this. If this much is safe to assume, then the question seems to be more how the club can give access to those that do not have internet access.

If the number of members sans e-mail addresses is significant, perhaps it would be nice to at least have a yearbook so they too can recap the year's activities and get pumped up for the coming year. However, without e-mail access, I don't see how they will be reminded of upcoming events and activities during the year (maybe just the monthly meetings can do this, if they attend?).

The world is changing. Almost everyone has internet access and an e-mail address. If those wanting a printed copy of DG can print their own, then that part of the problem is taken care of (no?). The question then is how we can keep those that are not e-connected in the loop. Perhaps a snail-mailing to those members without an e-mail address will keep them up to date, with the suggestion that they check the clubs web site for DG and other information (e.g., at the local library).

Maybe these thoughts are not what the OP was aiming for. I'm just trying to understand the issues and offer some solutions.
