Ditto!
I would like to push for electronic newsletters. I have gone completely paperless for things
like newsletters, etc. I've even thrown out my printer and reduced stacks of paperwork.
(and my pet peeve, a database of Tech Articles!!!)
I've done this with my home association. Only people who ask get paper copies of anything.
They are the exceptions. I have added new fields in my database to handle those exceptions.
Even Board meetings are done on 60" flat screen TV now. Remote people Skype in. Board
Minutes, Agendas, etc are all displayed, NOT printed. Saved us a TON of $$.

My POCA publication arrived yesterday. Nice work. Has any discussion been
had yet about distributing these electronically? I can see a cost savings
but I can also see it being easier to pirate (forwarding to non-paying
enthusiasts). It is nice to have the hard copies, but could they be
published online in a secured area on the POCA server that could be
indexed? Printing could be done at the choice of the member.
How much does it cost to print/send each distribution?
How much time does somebody have to spend to make distribution happen?
Just planting a seed.
