<p class=MsoNormal>Dear Local Leaguers~<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><strong><span style='font-weight:normal'>We will be sending
the "New York State Voter" via email to all of our members starting
in November. In order to do this, it would be very helpful if you made
sure that your e-mail address and the e-mail addresses of your fellow Leaguers <i>(by
passing the message)</i> </span></strong><strong><span style='font-weight:normal'>are</span></strong><strong><span
style='font-weight:normal'> in the National Database and updated whenever
necessary. Procedures are also being developed to make paper copies available </span></strong><strong><span
style='font-weight:normal'>of the NYS Voter </span></strong><strong><span
style='font-weight:normal'>at a small cost to those request it; watch for more
information on this option.</span></strong><strong><span style='font-weight:
normal'><o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><strong><span style='font-weight:normal'><o:p> </o:p></span></strong></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><strong><span style='font-weight:normal'>This is not and
should not be a painstaking task---you can log into the National website and </span></strong>update
your own League contact information by clicking “Manage Your Account”
on the left hand side (after you have logged in) to enter or update your e-mail
address. OR you can contact your President or me to let us know to please
put your e-mail or update your e-mail address on the National Database.<b><o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I know that everyone is weary of giving out their e-mail
address for fear of getting too much e-mail, so I asked National if and how
they use member e-mail addresses and this is their response:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>“Yes we do use them - but prudently - we NEVER sell
them to anyone else. With general members we only use them to send the
monthly E-Voice, they get an "E-Engagement" piece about once a month
and for those that have signed up they get action alerts to help lobby Congress
as necessary.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>With local and state LEADERS (those coded as local or state
board members) in addition to the above info we send the following :<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>1. Weekly Update from with tips, updates and funding
opportunities<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>2. Notices about PMP statement mailings<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>3. Calls to national meetings (e.g. call to convention) or
activities (Roster deadline update info).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We do try to keep to what most people would interpret as
prudent and not over bearing.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>It is important to keep your information up to date in the national
database so you do not miss communications from your state League and the
LWVUS. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Call or e-mail if you have any questions and don’t
forget, keep those e-mail addresses coming.<o:p></o:p></p>
