I'll also note that a web site for the business is a great idea if he doesn't do that. Of course, he will have to update and manage it. And for god's sake, BCC: those emails....
Use a mailing list, there are many suitable ones. Can't recommend any service, have not been involved in that area for a few years.
As for the suggestion to use BCC:, nope unless the goal is to get the emails tagged as spam quickly. A mailing list sends out individual emails with the response set to either the mailing list or other address for managing subscriptions.
Frequency? - unless there are many events each week sending out a monthly or bimonthly notice should be more than enough. Otherwise too frequent messages tend to get disposed of unread or marked as spam instead of unsubscribing.
