Opt Out Message Pipeline

To those members who have been requesting to opt-out for the current Pipeline mailing in the past week or so.

The opt-out period for this mailing ended July 23rd.

Since the mailing list is already with the printer no more names can be added to the opt-out list for this mailing. Once the Pipeline is mailed it may take up to six weeks to arrive at your home.

The next Pipeline will have its own opt-out period which will be announced on this list.

2010 Membership Cards

Please be sure to remove your DPCA 2010 membership card before disposing of the first ballot mailing. Membership cards will not be mailed with the second ballot mailing.

Opt Out Message August 2010

The Pipeline will be coming out the first part of August.  For members who do not have an e-mail address on file or internet access, copies will be automatically printed and mailed.  Nothing further needs to be done.

For those members who do have e-mail/internet access but need a printed copy, there is an “OPT OUT” option.  The electronic option will still be available to you in the Members Only area of the DPCA website, even if you “opt out”.

Instructions:  Use the e-mail address that is associated with your DPCA membership. Send an e-mail to dpcamembershipsecretary@wildblue.net Type Opt Out, name and address in the subject line. Do not type anything in the body of the e-mail.  This is not a onetime opt out since addresses and sometimes names change as well as the desired method of Pipeline delivery.  This will be a recurrent method of the opt out feature.  The cutoff date for opt out for this upcoming issue is July 23 2010.  There will be absolutely no exceptions or extensions to the cut off date.

Even if you e-mailed someone previously to let them know you wanted to opt out you need to follow the above instructions because those e-mails were not compiled for a mailing list.

Best Regards,

Janet Van Wormer
President

New Members Only Area of DPCA.org

The DPCA, Officers, and Board of Directors are pleased to announce the launching of the “Members Only” area of our Website at www.dpca.org. From this page, you can click the link to go to the member’s only section. You must register for an account with Members Only, using the email address that is on file with the DPCA Membership Secretary.  After you register, you will be approved and then will be able to logon using the username and password you chose.

The Administrative Procedures Manual and past Pipelines are on the members page now and as time goes along there will be other items added. This area will be password protected so there must be absolutely no cross posting of this information to any non-member or any internet list. This is a special perk for DPCA members only.

We hope you enjoy your new member’s only section.

Membership Dues Deadline is Jan 31, 2009

You have until Jan 31, 2009 to renew your DPCA membership.  You can renew online using PayPal or print/mail a renewal form.  Details are at on the DPCA membership page.
