Despite its flaws, Facebook is the current best option for me. Interactive and less intrusive than an e-mail.
8 COMMENT FROM MaryJo StGeorge August 16, 2012 at 1:12 pm
Definitely e-mail…that way you can contact members who may not frequent the club or use facebook regularly…by the way, how about selling Midtown t shirts in the shop?? Or having a give away contest like the club did many years ago…some small incentive to workout makes it fun for members and wearing the t shirts would be free advertising for Midtown!

19 COMMENT FROM mary eggers August 16, 2012 at 1:38 pm
Facebook is a great way to communicate because we get so many emails from various organizations these days, much of it I personally ignore. I like FaceBook because it allows me to log in and check in. Gives me a little more control (or the feeling of it

E-mail works best, as messages can go direct-to-cell. Facebook is too cluttery when attempting to communicate important updates.
