"Volunteers are the lifeblood of our community and it’s imperative we remain in active communication with them. We would like to start sending a regular outbound communication to our pool of active and inactive volunteers (about 200 individuals) that promotes opportunities that we’re seeking volunteers for, recognizes active volunteers and star contributors, and explains and captures recent volunteer contributions. We use mailchimp for our outbound email communications which includes a bi-monthly newsletter that we send to about 4000 individuals."
