RE: Renewals/Societies Addresses

["Jack O'Leary" <JOLeary@merrillinc.com>]

Both Dorothy and I have always mailed out renewal notices.  It seems like a
significant
fraction are not received.  Same with TAG, except that we pay the PO to
return them
to us to update or check the address, so have a shot at tracking down
members who have
moved.

I also use email for renewal notices and confirmations, with awful results.
It seems
like 40-50% of email addresses change during a year!
