However, many of those same alumnae whom we can't get in contact with seem to be the ones that get mad when they don't hear about things. Funny how that works.

Oh totally. We had a ten year anniversary formal a few years back and we sent all the alums with addresses on our list formal invites.
Over HALF of the invites came back invalid. It was quite frustrating.
And it's especially frustrating that the alumnae programs and updates weren't managed very well early on, so we have people listed as alumnae that we've never heard of as well as those emailing us at random to say they are alumnae but were left off of the list.
We stick to email updates.
