 What I do at the Center is in the  middle of the month (again this is timing since I bill everyone the first of the month) - personally contact delinquent groups to remind them of their obligations.  Sometimes a personal note can make a big difference.  The feasibility of this will depend on the number of delinquent members.  But I have devised some template which should speed things along.
 The Center has hundreds of regularly meeting groups - with the new policy system, the number of alert and suspended groups has dropped dramatically to around 20. The Center also used to write off thousands of dollars in fees each year.  Our write offs have also dramatically decreased.

+Dear Members,
+
+Greetings!  We're reaching out to you today to let you know about exciting new developments here at May First/People Link.
+
+First of all we want to thank you all for your support of MFPL these past 6 years.  We have grown from a few dozen members to a growing and vibrant network of over 500 individuals, organizers, activists and organizations both national and grassroots based.  This incredible growth only confirms the need for the kind of politically progressive internet infrastructure that MF/PL provides.  And we are continuing to develop new ways to both serve and engage our members.  The first full membership meeting is coming up this Fall.  For more information on the meeting, please click here - we sincerely hope you all can make it.
+
+At the same time this growth has not come without costs.  As the demand for services have increased, we have been responding with new investments in hardware and equipment, technological upgrades, software applications, enhanced security measures and more.  We believe the internet should be open, collaborative and affordable - and have kept our membership fees low to ensure that these services can be made as broadly available as possible.
