[OldNorth] meeting notices

[John Lofland]

Angela and everyone,

I think that door drops may not be the best method of giving notice 
of meetings.

This IS the 21st century. Perhaps we could use email? Or the US Postal Service?

Further, I think paid-up members  deserve a more reliable way of 
knowing about meetings than tiny slips of paper at exposed fronts of 
houses that may or may not actually get delivered.

Agenda posting on the web site would also help.

Thanks.

John
