I would not mind getting my newsletter in a digital format.

Here's a thought I have had so I am just going to put it out to see what 
everyone thinks.

Many clubs are senidng out newsletters as pdf's by email, now I know the 
charter says we are to mail a notice each month but what if some members 
prefer email over US mail. Would it be possible to offer the members a 
choice? I personally dont like paper, I recieve too much now, and would 
choose to read the newsletter as a pdf. When there is something I need to 
see on paper, like a form, I print it out.

I had no idea the the newsletter was consuming such a large portion of each 
members dues, not to mention the freebie newsletters.
