HI Leefe

1. Mail chimp provides a lot more features then a regular mailing list. Many new members have opted out of the mailing list as they feel that it has simply become a platform for old members to complain and only serves to fill their inbox with unwanted messages.

2. The mailing list was imported into mail chimp so no need relay the messages.

3. Revenue raising. Most of our funding and grants provide matching funding rather than cash outright. For every member dollar we typically get $2 value, and we still need an initial sum each year. It is still a low amout by todays standards and If you feel that you do not gain at least $20 value out of a membership during a year you are free to not renew.

Regards 
Carlin Rookes
President
