E-COMMUNICATIONS

As Pam reported in the Publicity committee report, we have set up a link between Constant Contact and Facebook. Gloria has been posting a blurb about the upcoming Minstrel show each week on Facebook. Starting this week, she will be able to do it through CC, which will put a link to a copy of the Minstrel-Gram on our Facebook page. This will save Gloria some work.

We can take advantage of this capability for other emails that we send through CC. If you send emails through CC and you'd like to do that, please let me know and I'll walk you through the steps.

As Eddie reported, membership renewal reminders are being sent out through CC.

Mike and I have decided to change the Minstrel-Gram options. Currently, we maintain three Minstrel-Gram mailing lists. The Weekly list receives the Minstrel-Gram each week, the Bulletin list receives only shows of particular note, and the Emergency list only receives emergency notices, such as emergency closings. Going forward, we will only maintain the Weekly list and signing up for the Minstrel-Gram will mean receiving it every week. This change will take place in phases and the first step will be to replace the sign-in sheet at the Minstrel with a new one that does not provide for the Bulletin and Emergency options. Mike has mailedthe new sign-up sheets to MUF and they should be in use soon.
