   1. We also communicate using mass emails, I believe all but two members have a working email address.
   2. Like most SIGs the communications pretty well depends on the newsletter.

   1. HACOA website is updated constantly, all members can post events, classifieds and photos galleries. Most don't, but they could. 
   2.  Corvanatics website is way out of date. But Terry Kalp has a very nice photo on it, so it is worth going to.
   
    The HACOA newsletters are available on our website. A counter the keeps track of downloads, there must be some really bored people out there because some issues are over the 500 mark.
