Notification of changes to members?

I don't think anyone would have recieved the mass email even if we had the time to send one out

You don't have a list of member e-mails off the server? I would get this for the future.
Then all you would have to do is use any e-mail address and send out an e-mail to everyone to let them know what is happening. It would have been manual, but better than nothing.
