quick note on Feri Camp

[chelidon]

Please pass the word to everyone who you know has been interested in Feri Camp, particularly those who have sent in requests for registration. I've heard a few cases where some folks said they haven't heard back from me about their registration query, and I have gotten a few notes saying "Haven't heard back yet, wanted to check in to make sure I was on the list."


There have been 65 requests for registration forms over the last three days, and I've sent replies to every request I've received, on the same day, and usually within 2 hours of receipt (unless it came in while I was asleep). So if you sent a query, you should definitely have heard back by now with a confirmation that I have your email address and you're on the list to receive a registration form.

I know emails are going out successfully on this end because there have been a number of conversations back and forth with people about airports, food, site info and so on. If you sent a registration form request and don't seem to have received anything from me, please check your spam filters -- often things can get stuck there if you're communicating with someone you haven't emailed before. If you don't know how to check your spam filter, best bet is to check with your Internet Service Provider, who should be able to give you that info.

If all else fails, call the phone number on the original announcement (603.863.8393), between 9-11pm eastern time only, please, and I will be happy to confirm that you're on the list to receive a registration form. Forms will go out sometime this weekend, and will be sent to the email address from which you requested the form.

Thanks,

--Chelidon

hi chelidon, i sent an email to you on wednesday asking to be put on the list for registration forms and haven't heard back from you - and there's nothing in my spam filter. i've resent the email, but i'll post here as well, just in case. my email address is steph_regulus at yahoo dot com. thank you very much!

Yes, Hi Steph, I've sent replies to each of your messages -- and yesterday, I got the enclosed message, which might explain things. It says it's not blocking the email, only deferring, and I haven't gotten anything saying the messages were rejected, but it looks like perhaps that's what's going on. There's one other person, also with a yahoo account, to whom mail appears to be held up for some reason -- no idea why, it's sure that my email server hasn't been used for spam.

My suggestion would be to contact Yahoo Mail and report the issue, and/or get a backup free email account from some other provider (like Google Mail) and send me the new address to make absolutely sure the registration form gets to you.

Gotcha -- I replied there, and will send the registration form to all three of the addresses I have for you.

Would there be a chance of you posting an entry if the form won't be sent out on Saturday afternoon?

[chelidon.livejournal.com]

The form won't be sent out Saturday afternoon -- teaching team has something they want to add.

Okey-dokey! :-)
Thanks!
