So do you guys tend to send out telegrams and newsletters? What kind of stuff do you send out? Or if your not a leader, do you tend to receive telegrams? Do you read them? Find them interesting?

The Toonami Union used to send out weekly telegrams, but I don't think they were effective. Active member knew what was going on and unactive members didn't exactly participate.

I send them out only when something big happens, or if activity is low

I tend to do them with major updates and releases. I would send stuff out about the Starcraft 2 beta, our new steam group and the DoW 2 expansion.

Major updates is when I normally send them out too. Nobody wants to hear the minor news :P

I send one out maybe every 2 or 3 weeks. Just to highlight various things about the union like a landmark member count be reached or just encouraging people to visit the union in general.

Thats quite a lot. Definitely helps keep people stay aware of the union rather than it fade from memory. Takes a fair bit of effort though.

I think telegrams are, however, useful for major union events, not just simple contests.
