Peggy, we spend about $70/month to print our newsletter.  We send it to
everybody: faculty (about 300), academic staff, administrators, and
classified employees; in other words, all employees of the university.

Why do we send it to classified staff (other institutions call these folks
civil service employees or some other euphemism--secretaries, grounds
crew, janitors, some managers)?   Mostly in the interests of
inclusiveness and collaborative activity; I get sick of the way academics
make the university (and sometimes the rest of the world) hierarchical.
I'm an academic too, so I can say that with impunity, right?  Have we
ever had a proposal go out from a classified employee?  Not that I can
recall.  But some have told me that they appreciate receiving it, and at
least passed an opportunity on to her daughter, an academic elsewhere;
that's good enough for me.  At least as long as I can afford to print the
extra 200 copies it takes.

Prep time is probably 1.5-2 days, if we include the gathering of materials,
which goes on all month.  I have put it together in a day, but I didn't like it
much.
