Editorial by Angus Cross
In an effort to increase the readership of Alumni Connection we are again sending this edition out to all alumni in our database.
We have determined that there are two main reasons for a slight decrease in our "opens ratio" (ie. emails sent to emails opened.)
The primary reason is not being notified of email address changes. If you are making a change please tell us about it.
The secondary reason concerns spam. Depending on how tightly
choked you have your email program to avoid receiving unwanted emails may cause our newsletters to end up in your Junk mail folder.
The cure is to add angus@hfx.eastlink.ca to your address book so we'll be sure to land in your inbox!
In response to an email I sent to a 1982 alum asking "Have you considered joining the association?" I received the following:
"I just don`t think this is for me but thank you very much for your time and effort."
I replied "Thanks for the email. I am somewhat surprised by your comments. I noticed that you live in St. Lambert. Do you have children that go to Chambly Academy or will go there in the future? Our members from across Canada, the USA, and around the world support the school, and the community. Over the last six years we have funded the school in excess of $30,000.00 Living in the community I would expect you would also like to assist."
I am still waiting for a reply. Anyway that's what I think. - Angus
