[Communications] CCGA Mailing List

[Mamie Gray]

Good morning Deb, I hope all is well with you, too! “It is my
understanding,” that, presently, Mailchimp totals over 1,770 subscribers
(from newsletters, conferences, distributions, etc.). Although the list
that I use focuses on “community gardeners,” it also includes some
subscribers who should be *deleted*. I once worked with Pat Hart to get
this done, and then with Ellen. Ellen and I have talked about cleaning the
list in the Fall (after various community gardens have been put to bed for
the season). Once the list is cleaned and updated, I will not need the use
of my sister’s, Mary Anne, gmail account because *Gmail* limits the number
of incoming and outgoing mail in a 24 hour period; and although *Mailchimp*
does not have this limitation, it does come with “*ads*.” So, neither list
is really ready for prime time. In fact, JW and I are waiting on Amy Olson
to create accounts to Mailchimp for the Communications Committee to, once
again, have access. After reading this email, please let me if you have any
questions, or feel free to give me a call (708-990-7939). Best, Mamie
