We also don't use AMS for anything - only to approve membership. I tend to do batch approvals but when I can I do them as they come in (not that many every day!) For internal communications we have a long-established mailing list and when we have events we rely on friendly organizations' support for stuff like registration; we have used EventBrite as well. The list is being migrated to something more modern and we're preparing to manage rejections, antispam, etc. We don't charge our members at present so accounting is independent of these operations (and mighty simple in that sense.)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Yours,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Alejandro PIsanty</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br class=""><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Feb 20, 2015 at 6:11 AM, JOHN MORE <span dir="ltr" class=""><<a href="mailto:morej1@mac.com" target="_blank" class="">morej1@mac.com</a>></span> wrote:<br class=""><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto" class=""><div class="">I have.
