I know not everyone is tech savvy but a great way to help you manage your member email list is through a marketing platform. I use Mailchimp and its great because I created a simple form for people to subscribe to my email list. Since people have to subscribe then sending it mass emails won't get blocked by spam (in some cases a small percent will end up in a spam folder).
You can create different email list for people to subscribe to. This makes it easier to manage groups of email. Example.... You can create a membership email subscription list and you can create another one for events like golfing, birthday ball, etc.
I then create different kinds of email campaigns like Weekly Updates and I have another one that automatically emails members on their birthday with a nice Marine Corps happy birthday email. Once you get used to it then your emails will look professional. You can even use it to publish your newsletter. It easily integrates to your detachment/dept FB page and website. They have many pricing platforms but the FREE account lets you collect and manage up to 2,000 emails. I use the free version.
