The unknown % of members without email

[Neil Frank <nfrank@mindspring.com>]

To help Jack fill out the membership directory with email addresses and to
find out how many members do not have email access, I suggest that someone
initiate a formal survey. Maybe a direct mailing to the membership with a
postage paid envelope to maximize response. I think it will be worth the
cost. Since this will cost us several hundred dollars, it might be combined
with other questions to the membership.. e.g. solicit people to fill jobs,
like regional reps or other unfilled positions.

The results should be tablulated into 3 categories (yes, no, no response)
Once we know that a large percentage of the members -- e.g. 20, 30 or even
50%-- do not have email, we might know how to better serve them. It can
also allow us to send out future messages more cheaply by using email to
some and snail mail to others. 

I propose that AGA pay for this survey. If approved, someone will need to
implement it. Any one iterested in taking the bull by the horns?
