Hello Delco RRC |
Have something interesting to add to the email? Forward it to me at info@delcorrc.com. Thanks to those that always give me support.
With this quote in mind: Will you? I think you will so will you? Just come out to a one of our many Fun Runs and answer that question for yourself.

My Turn! |
This is in response to an email I received this past Saturday (it was sent at 11:08pm) asking if I received an email on Wednesday night (which was sent at 11:42pm) for inclusion in the Thursday Constant Contact email.
"....poor planning on the club's part does not constitute an emergency on my part. I get up at 0430 on Thursday mornings, do personal hygiene, check my personal email, update the Constant Contact club email and get it sent by 0500, water my gardens while warming up my motorcycle and am on my way to work by 0515. There are seven full days between the times I send the emails and basically 6.5 days when I check the Go Daddy club email. Wednesday afternoon is the last time I check the Go Daddy club email before I send the Constant Contact email on Thursday morning. If you want something in the email on Thursday, try to get it to me by early Wednesday afternoon. If I am told that something will be in the Go Daddy email then I will make it a point to check it on Thursday morning and get it in...99% of the time."
