Announcing the New Email Newsletter

Over the next few weeks, we will be switching to a new email newsletter software (PHPList, in case you’re interested). Almost all current Film Board members will receive an email in the next week requesting you sign up. If you do not wish to sign up, simply ignore or delete the email. Keep in mind, though, that if you do not sign up, you will miss important announcements including changed hours and policy annoucements.

If you do not receive the email, you can sign up in the sidebar to the right.

In the new system, the Newsletter Editor, Sabrina, will post the newsletter to the News section of the website, which will then be emailed out to the newsletter subscribers. However, there will be additional announcements made exclusively to the newsletter, so please sign up for the newsletter, even if you use something like RSS to subscribe to the website.
