[MassHistPres] HD Communication

[Gretchen Schuler]

Send the letter - the more info out there the better.  You could tell
people that if they provide emails you can send updates - so offer an
address to send email - then when guidelines are updated you can send out
the new link or a second letter to those owners for whom you have no email.
