Team Communication Tools

We use a google group to send out mass emails, a google calendar embedded in our website, and a phone/email directory for students. These work pretty well, but as other have said it depends on the other students using the system and checking their emails. We're also considering signing up for google apps as a nonprofit to consolidate our email lists/contacts/calendar.

I really like the dinner idea though. How does this work? Our team usually works in 2 places miles apart, so we get quite a divide of groups (animation, chairman's/flower's, build). Do you have one consolidated dinner after everything is done for the evening?
