I don't mind one way or another - but... the IOLI organisation is big enough that it should consider an inhouse system of notifying members, surely it shouldn't be that difficult - could be an agenda item at the coming convention, if someone would step forward to volunteer to help the membership chair (and I'm not member, but have lots of free advice ...).
If you have renewal times that happen 4 periods of a year, the membership database can be set to do a reminder message the period before the respective renewal for those with e-mail. Or - you could swing the whole entreprise to one renewal time only, a temporary headache, but in the long run easier to administer I should think (see? lots of free advice...) Another free suggestion: that IOLI have a member forum via the website, to encourage communication - it does require someone to administer it, though this is pleasant volunteer time. Other groups have them and can be set up to be private for members only. On 7/23/07, Laurie J. Hughes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > *Please let me know if this is NOT alright with you all.
