  I need a plugin that will allow us to contact our membership with email blasts and newsletters.
  We also host events so we need a plugin that will allow our members to register for events and also to collect membership dues.

  Hey there, there are a lot of options out there. Will you be hosting the site here?

  For event registration, you could use Calendly, Eventbrite with most of our paid plans:

  We have some simple Membership options as well, including ones that collect recurring dues. This video should give you a good idea of what’s possible without adding plugins to your WordPress.com site:

  Or if you have the Business Plan, the sky is the limit. I’d recommend contacting WooCommerce Customer Success, too, since they’ll have recommendations on which plugins work together well for your goals:

  Oh, and we have a few built-in newsletter options as well, or you can add a plugin like Mail Poet to handle them for you:
