As Club and Association boards and committees begin planning each year’s activities, it is important to have up-to-date information concerning the alumni residing in your Club or Association territory.

E-mail invitations can be as varied as paper invitations. However, they are much less expensive to produce and distribute. An e-mail can state nothing but the simplest details of an event or it can include pictures. Of course, if you have a website, providing a link to your website in the email is always a good idea.
