HARRA E-Mail Announcement Coming Friday
Last Thursday, HARRA members received the following e-mail from one of HARRA's tireless supporters from the very beginning of the organization, Jerry Smith:
HARRA E-mail List Members,
Earlier this week I advised the HARRA Board and the HARRA Club Representatives of my decision to "retire", effective immediately, from my volunteer position as the HARRA E-mail List Administrator. Several factors entered into my decision among them being the fact that a new e-mail server at work is making it increasing difficult to send out messages to such a large list making it necessary to send out plus the day-to-day management of the many additions, deletions, revisions and "undeliverable" has become overly burdensome.
The List began approximately seven years ago and has grown from a list of zero members to a current list of over 1,500 members. Hopefully all of you have enjoyed the updates and the information that has been distributed and that in some way it has benefited your training and racing. I know I have thoroughly enjoyed the role and have especially enjoyed my interaction with all of you, many of whom I have never met other than via our e-mails.
At this time I am not sure what the organization intends to do as there are several options under consideration. Until then I would urge you to check the HARRA web site on a regular basis for updates and other running related information.
Best of running to all!
Tomorrow, Friday, March 9 (one day before president Anna Sumrall Helm may have to dye her pigtails blond if 20 centipedes finish on Saturday at the Bayou City Classic 10K), webmaster Sarah Graybeal will implement a new e-mail process that will allow for the organization to maintain and trigger the e-mail list from HARRA's web site.
Users will have a page that they can even unsubscribe from the list if they choose too. But why would they?
E-mails will be sent out approximately three times a month, near the 1st, 10th and 20th of the month. This will help cut down on the volume of e-mails coming through the list - and allow HARRA to provide the member benefit at no cost (on that schedule).
Watch for more specific details on the HARRA website and in your e-mail box from announcements (at) harra.org on Friday!
And thanks once more to Jerry for his providing this service, through the company he works for, for the past seven (7) years!
