We then use www.mailchimp.com to manage our team emails. It allows us to maintain a list of every email we've ever sent, see who has opened emails and even who clicks on links. We can also use it to manage alumni and community email lists, plus it allows you to create really nice looking emails really easily. As an example of what you can do, this is a community email we sent last year that looks similar to what we use now. Easy to put together, and very nice looking. http://eepurl.com/UupQT
We are looking for some of the same things to ease communications for team members, parents, sponsors , alumni, etc. I checked out mailchimp and your newsletter. Very nice!

I also like the idea of smile.amazon.com. (First time I have heard of it) Does your team have a 501(c)(3) classification? Are you using a parent organization to obtain it?

Appreciate any insight. Thanks.
