I'd be interested to know if people would like to get mobile alerts for time sensitive information such as the status of the Elver Races.
If you have a device that can receive Internet text messages (mobile alerts), would you like it to receive alerts from the club? Such alerts would be limited to things like today's notice of race cancellation. Please reply to me if you think you might find this service useful (next season). fyi: Recent models of most cell phones can receive text messages or email from the Internet but the provider has to enable the service. I know Verizon, & U.S. Cellular offer the service to cell phone customers. It may cost you extra to enable it on your existing cell phone (you could probably cancel it after the ski season is over). U.S. Cellular has been charging $5/month. U.S. Cellular describes the service as follows: > Mobile Messaging > . . . your friends and associates can send you e-mail > on your wireless phone with our our Mobile Messaging > feature. I'd set this up so that only Ned and a designate would be able to send alerts and these alerts would be automatically forwarded to this list. If such a thing is of interest to you, please reply to me. Based on your response, I'll gauge the interest and come up with a recommendation. Cheers, Joe -- Joseph J.
