There are apps in the app store which do this. Otherwise, one can add up to 10 
people to a message group. After sending a message to those people, do not 
delete the group. Then, any time desired, open the message group and type the 
message in the edit field, and the message will be sent to all the people in 
the group.

Kind regards,
