Emailing every member is easy to do when you have every member's email address. Their last mail to me, 7 days ago:

Towards our 10,000 member goal, we heard from 9,025 folks over the last eight days, and we couldn't be more grateful. Some of the Summer Pledge Drive has been eliminated, but with your help, we can still eliminate some more.

'twoodfin is right to be cautious about valorizing WBEZ.

The right thing to do is often easy, technologically. The harder part for an organization is deciding "yep, we want to e-mail everyone on our list and tell them we made a big mistake".

Getting people's email addresses in the first place is the "hard part" I'm alluding to.
