Important Info from Kathy Feldmann
Hello,
Let's think good thoughts and remember the scene from My Best Friends Wedding at the rehearsal dinner when they all burst out in song, laugh and smile to "I say a little prayer for you!" ... I need for all of you to do that!
We are cooked here. So to move forward I ask that you in your very kind and most professional manner let your chairs, states, clubs know that we are still operational. We are just doing business a bit differently. We will certainly continue to communicate to all, but I know you are the ones who can keep the fire contained. For events that are taking place in August, we ask that people fax the forms in to us. That is athletes, professional, introductory etc. All forms. The clubs have received the packets by now. The forms are also up on the website for downloading. They may also mail or express mail the forms, if they wish to send a check. All faxed forms must have a credit card number. We also need to receive sanction requests for any event in August. I am only taking one month at a time.
We will accept the internet price. That is the $5 discounted price on memberships until further notice. Once we are back up and operation, then an announcement will be made and policies and procedures will be back in place. We will date stamp all received forms and that will service as registering during this emergency time. We are placing all registrations into a spread sheet that we will have for insurance purposes. Please remind people that we do not have any means to look up numbers, information, do data entry, change levels, change addresses...nothing! We have no access to member information. We are very sorry and we are taking all of the necessary measures and steps to get back up. It will not happen this week, I guarantee you! The server is at the hospital. We Med-evac'd (SP) it to California, but then we found a place for very special care and have Med-evac'd it to Virginia! Say a little prayer!
I can not even begin to thank you for you kind words and understanding. Please feel free to contact me at any time or any one of my staff.
Thank you Region 6 and Massachusetts state for the Bronze level HOF donation! If there are any others out there please let me know by tomorrow morning at 10 am EDT. I have to send the program to the printer and I do not want to miss a name!
I am now calling it a day. Thanks!
Kathy
