There are packaged software soltutions available for publishing Internet newsletters, maybe it would be a worthwhile activity to take a look at some of them and create a mock-up of what an electronic form of Der Gasser would look like?

Quote:However I also want to point out that only 50% of our regions membership have recorded email addresses in their membership record.
