- Date, time, who is affected. In the first two lines.
- One notice, one subject. Combine three things and two get missed.
- Keep a record. For meetings and money, note how and when each notice was served.
For dues, use the maintenance reminder messages and non-payment notice. For the monthly account, use the income and expenditure format.
