Re: Announcing new Camp email account service
As you may already know, I have authorized Division expenditures for
a special webpage designed to allow us to collect information from
contacts who see our two billboards on US 290, and Frank Johnson has
developed a page for that purpose.
One important fringe benefit of this is that it allows us to develop
an email service for any camps who wish to have one at no additional
cost. Frank has set us such accounts and any camp wishing to avail
of this free service need only contact Frank to request.
Let me mention a few advantages of this system:
1. Its free to the camps (and actually adds no additional
cost to the Division, except for some management efforts)
2. The address will clearly be that of the Camp (ie.,
[email protected]) as outlined
in General Order 1
3. Its a web-based serviceyou can get your email anywhere
you have a web connection
4. When Camp officers change, the camps email address does
not change (rather credentials will be transferred to the new
officers by the outgoing officers)this means email distribution
lists maintained by the Brigades, Division, ATM, and HQ will remain
current, even as Camp officers transition each yearthis will be a
huge advantage in maintaining good communications with the Camps.
5. The Camp Commanders will have control of their own
accounts, and can give credentials to any camp officer or member to
monitor
6. If passwords or credentials are lost, they can be
reestablished by contacting Frank Johnson
7. The email account can be monitored directly by designated
camp officer(s)/member(s), or it can be used to forward email
automatically to the communication officers existing personal
account (so the commo officer doesnt have to monitor another
account)
8. It will satisfy all requirements of the CiC s General
Order No. 1
9.
This is not required of any Camp; those camps who have already
established or prefer to establish a Camp email account as directed
in General Order 1 (with Camp name in the account name) can continue
to use that email account or they are welcome to avail themselves of
this service. Camps wishing to establish an account can send their
request for an email address to Frank Johnson:
[email protected] Each camp should
include the name of the designated communications officer along with
a contact phone #. Upon receiving the request, each camp will be
issued an address and password along with detailed instruction on
how to access their mail. Unless otherwise requested, the email
address will be camp####@scvtexas.com .
I hope each camp in the Division will take advantage of this new
service. If you have any questions, please feel welcome to contact
me or Frank Johnson for more information.
Warmest regards,
Ray James
