E-communications

As we mentioned last month, in early May we completed work on combining the Minstrel-Gram email lists. Originally, there were three lists: weekly, bulletin and emergency. We found that relatively fewer people asked to be on the bulletin and emergency lists and they required extra time and effort to maintain. So we removed those lists and added those people to the weekly list. We sent them an email informing them that they had been added to the weekly list and gave them instructions on opting out of the weekly list if they wished.

This was the final action in that process -- we had previously removed the bulletin and emergency lists from the sign-up sheet at the Minstrel. We had also removed any reference to those lists on the FP website.

This month we also sent out an email to our members to correct a misprint in the newsletter regarding the house concert with Mike Agranoff on June 18.

The Irish Mythen concert and the Uke Fest are using Constant Contact to handle advance ticket sales and publicity.

We have 4270 contacts, up from 4244 in May.

As always, many thanks to Barbara Moo, Bobbie Rosengarten and Liz Pagan for their help.
