Process Update for E-blast requests!
|
|
I would like to try a new process for E-blast requests.
Anyone
who has an
announcement
they would like to
add to the weekly E-blast
may request the addition by emailing
eblast@holycrossep.org
or
clicking the E-blast button
in the link above.
With the increase in activities and communications this may help avoid miscommunication!
- We reserve the right to edit the length of the E-blast so please make sure you make your E-blasts short and sweet! We have multiple entries per week and must share the space!
- E-blast requests MUST be submitted by 5pm Tuesday if you want it included in the following Wednesdays E-blast. Late submissions will be included in the following week's E-blast.
Thank you for your help with this change. Please reach out to Jenni, the church secretary for any questions!
