New & Improved Updates
This quarterly update, we’re trying a new system for sending member updates out. The application that we use to manage our membership limits us to sending our email updates out to one email address per family. We have heard your feedback about wanting these updates to be available to multiple family members and caregivers, and are testing out the following new improvements with a new system via this newsletter:
- A new public Melrose Family Room blog that anyone can visit to read the latest member update as well as read past updates.
- A new email system for sending out member updates. Any family member or caregiver who would like to keep up with Melrose Family Room updates is welcome to subscribe to this list by visiting this form.
Please send any feedback you have on this system to our technical coordinator Maureen Strode at tech@melrosefamilyroom.org.
