I don't see these as mutually exclusive.  Why don't we try doing
both 6:30-7 newcomer orientation and written handouts
and see: 1. what newcomers find most valuable and 2. what
we find we can sustain as volunteers?  No one who doesn't want
to show up at 6:30 needs to do so.  Yes, I do work with another
group that has meetings, and we use both handouts and explanation
time--they're mutually reinforcing.
