Announcements by the President

Email issue:
 
The email deluge from Alignment was not done with malice but it did result in club members getting email they did not want.  Three things have happened over the last 36 hours:
 
  1. The contact list from the originator has been disabled.
  2. Junichi N. has changed the security settings on the group email so that any emails coming from outside the RCHB group email goes into a queue.  Junichi is notified by Google that there is an email waiting his approval.  He will serve as moderator and will determine if the email is appropriate to the group or not.  Based on his decision, he will either forward or delete.
  3. To further protect the email of the club, notifications of members will be done separately from notification to guests and guest speakers so the club address will not be readily available to them.
As of this morning, there were no emails reported from Alignment nor did Junichi get any emails in the queue.
 
Moral of the story -- don't let anyone have access to your contact list!
 

The notes of the last club meeting has been posted on the ClubRunner.
