We could send automated but individualized messages, i.e.,
with "Dear Bill" or "Dear Mr. Drake" type greeting,
signed by "Executive Committee" or something like that.
That might not be quite as effective as a message signed
by a real person, but better than "Dear member".

Or if someone not running (or running uncontested, if we
do this after nominations are closed) volunteers to let
his name be used for the purpose, it is just as easy to
use it in an automated mass mailing.
