WHY DOES THE ALUMNAE SEND NEWSLETTER BY FIRST CLASS MAIL and not by BULK MAIL,
which would be cheaper?
MANY years ago we gave up BULK MAILING for several reasons, among them:
1) Two of the three newsletters are time-critical (The October issue is sent 4
weeks before the annual Mass and event and has a reservation form for the meal,
and the March issue is sent 4 weeks before the Fundraiser and contains the
raffle tickets.) With bulk mailing we cannot be sure they arrive in a timely
fashion... it gets delivered whenever the local carrier has a "lighter
load."
2) With first class mail and the "Return Service Requested" notice
below our return address, we get all mail to be forwarded BACK to us with the
correct address. This way we do not lose the information. If it were not first
class, it does not get forwarded, and in addition, we would never get the new
information. At least 50-70 change of addresses happen with each mailing. People
are very poor in contacting the Alumnae Office with a change of address on their own.
3) Sorting for a bulk mailing is a PAIN!!! It has to go out from one point, all
in one mailing, and sorted by ZIP code. The system to get the mailing ready has
been developed over a number of years and involves volunteers. The first crew
packages newsletters, stamps and labels in groups of 100, and other volunteers
take one or two bundles to do that day or the next couple of days.... and they
can pop the finished group into any mailbox, and out they go without hassle.
