I would also add that the side bar that shows events coming up in the next 7 or 30 days pulls in way too much information and makes the newsletter too confusing. It would be better to break it into 2 sections: One would be “RSVP Deadline Approaching” and the other section could be everything listed as “Upcoming Events” with just the date and name of the event in chronological order, with perhaps a link to RSVP for it/show their RSVP so they can quickly see what events they have said yes (
), no (
) or not replied to yet (
). Clicking on the icon would take them to the event details page to RSVP or change their reply.
Something like this:
RSVP Deadline Approaching
05/01 - Mother’s Day Tea 
05/29 - Memorial Day Event 
Upcoming Events
05/01 - Mother’s Day Tea 
05/14 - Troop Meeting

06/21 - Summer Trip 
07/04 - July 4th Parade
