As we have a Book Club in this group which is growing in popularity, we do send out a few broadcasts to all members a couple times a month. It used to be three, but we are now dropping this to two messages a month. This is their order and reason:
Message One Comes out approximately the 7th of every month (sometimes it may be a day early) to announce the Group Read Polls are open. This message may also include any important group news or updates
Message Two Comes out approximately the 20th of every month to announce the Group Read Poll Winners. This message may also include any important group news or updates and a welcome to new members.
We used to also send a message at the end of the month to announce the group read was about to start. We have had feedback that this message was of value and it helped to remind members not to forget to grab the group read book from their library. There is some concern that this reminder message at the end of the month might be one message too much for other members.
Perhaps members who would like a reminder might like to opt in for the automated reminder that GR offers.
By going to your Profile. Top right corner next to your small profile image, hit the down arrow. In the drop down menu select Edit Profile. In your edit profile page, click on the Email tab. It is located at the top next to all the other tabs that run horizontally.
Scroll down to the bottom and you will see a box to click (or unclick) that says something along the lines of 'opt in to receive a message when a group is about to read a book' (*nb not exact wording, but you'll recognize it when you see it).
