-
Use the notices tab, to

Notes
A group notice is supposed to go to all group members, but probably does not go to more than 500 in a large group.
-
You can attach notecards, objects, landmarks, and other assets to a notice. I recommend against using anything but notecards. You can embed assets in notecards (if they are yours full perm). Finding other assets in a large inventory is not worth the effort, so they are probably lost. Best make a notecard with informative title and embed all the assets you want to send ( objects, textures) in a single note card
