If your group sends out email announcements about your dances, how do you
manage the email list? Over the years we’ve built up quite a long list and
we’ve been using Gmail to send announcements. Google only lets us send out
messages to about 90 people at a time, so we’ve had to separate the list
into groups of fewer than 90 people and send to each group. Is there a more
efficient way to do this?

For a long time we had a Yahoo group for our dance email lists.
However, Yahoo groups has been having troubles for a number of reasons,
so many groups are moving to Groups.io. They have a free service level
that is quite sufficient for announcing dance events, etc. Taking care
of the list is fairly easy and gives a lot more options than trying to
do is yourself. You might want to check them out.

Hi Jim,
I use MailChimp. You can have a couple of thousand e-mail addresses at no
cost.
And for another project I am just about to try SendPulse - same deal.
MailChimp has been very good, and SendPulse is equally highly rated.
Happy dancing,
John

There are a number of good mailing programs around that help keep track of
your list and can send things in various ways. Many of them have free
options for small numbers, allow you to import your current list and often
offer templates that make it easier to create a mailing. You can see
reviews online. We use MailerLite, which has worked well so far.
