A Primer on Region 11’s email forum -- The R11ng
|
Hello all.? I have received numerous questions from Region 11 members about the R11ng:? what it is, how to sign up, how to use it, why messages don’t always show up and more! So, let’s dig in a bit: The R11ng (note that it is spelled with the number 11 to represent the one and only Region 11!) is an email forum for communicating official regional information and Chapter announcements. The forum is hosted by the website 开云体育.? It is a separate entity from our region’s website at . All members of the Region should subscribe to the R11ng email group to receive valuable notices and timely updates, as well as “how tos” like this one that you are reading now. All members may also post notices to the R11ng for distribution to the membership. Note that all emails are moderated.? This means that when you send an email to the R11ng, it will be reviewed by your Communications Coordinator (that’s me!) for appropriateness before being approved and sent out. What is appropriate?? Anything that is informational in nature and related to Region 11, our choruses and our quartets.? If your message is inaccurate or unclear, I will ask you to edit for clarification before approving it. Also, note that since I do read and approve all messages before sending them out, your message may not be received in members’ inboxes for several hours after you send it or the next day, depending on my schedule. Since the R11ng is for announcements and is not a social forum, replies to R11ng emails are not expected or encouraged.? In general, if you wish to comment on a R11ng announcement, you should contact the sender directly. Their email address will be included in the “from” information. There are exceptions but in general, we want to avoid filling members’ inboxes with replies and comments that are not necessarily intended for all members. To post an email or to subscribe/unsubscribe to the group, send an email to the following:
I have heard from some members that they are not receiving R11ng messages.? This problem is most likely related to your email settings/service. Here are some things you can do: ·??????? In the settings of your email program, mark [email protected] as a safe sender ·??????? Add [email protected] to your email program’s address book. ·??????? Some email services just don’t play well with others, so it is possible that you may have to periodically check your spam folder to see if messages are being redirected there; in this case, reach out to your provider for assistance. ·??????? If you have never received any messages even though you believe you are subscribed, you should confirm that the email address is correct in the R11ng directory of members.? You can do this by logging in to or by sending me an email (sairegion11communications@...) to check for you. ·??????? When members subscribe, they are set up to receive all individual messages. You can change this to receive messages grouped in a “digest” format.? If you are an active member, I don’t recommend this. Did you know that you can go directly to the R11ng on and read any message that has been sent? To do this, you will need to be logged in to your 开云体育 account. You can log in to your account using any of these methods:
Chorus leadership:? Please forward this message to your members and encourage any who have not subscribed to the R11ng, to do so now. Please let me know if you have any questions about the R11ng or need help subscribing or checking your subscription status. ? Best regards, Lora Goodpasture Communications Coordinator Region 11 |
