> Hi all,

This

like

who

a

> This is not a ROLL CALL. We do not do ROLL CALLS on our list. Instead we
> coordinate our exchange OFF LIST. All names are emailed to a specific
> address where they are collected. We give you about two weeks to submit
> your names. Once we are finished, we will post this information online
and

list

> WHAT TO EXPECT
>
> Our surname list volunteer coordinator is Doug Beal. He has done this for
> us for the past four years. We really appreciate his time and his
> willingness to collect all the surnames.
>
> In the next few weeks, Doug will email our list with specific instructions
> for participating. Please make sure to read his email. Doug will post an
> email address that he uses for this purpose and will tell you when he is
> ready for you to send him your names. We will give you about two weeks to
> submit the names, just incase anyone is out of town. After that time, any
> late submissions can be turned into me for inclusion on the web site only.
>
> Some of you may not want to participate - that is ok. Please feel free
to
> do so, if you choose to.
>
> Once again, watch your list mail for instructions on when and how to
submit
> your names. Your help in making our exchange easy is needed -- so please
> read the instructions carefully!
>
> Lastly, please do not send your names back to this list - this defeats our
> goal of running a surname exchange off list!

> Thanks so much!
