Common FAQs about our E-Lists:
How long does it take to be placed on the E-List? Not long at all..almost instantly! Once you fill out the placement form, you're in! We'll send a confirmation of your placement on the E-List
Do you send spam and junk mail along with notices and announcements? No! Never! We send out pure Trailside material, including reminders, upcoming events, changes, cancellations and other related material, but NEVER spam or junk mail! Ads are also a no-no. Once in awhile, related attachments are included in some messages, but it's rare.
If i'm unable to hike for a long period of time, or never participate, will I be removed from the list? No. The only way you are removed is if you fill out an opt-out form or ask us to remove you. We hope that never happens, though!
If I request to be removed, do I have to explain why? No. That is totally optional for you to explain why you request to be removed from the E-List. However, if you do include an explanation on your opt-out form, it is totally confidential!
What are TRAILMAILS? QUICKMAILS? TRAILMAILS are weekly emails send out en masse to everyone on the E-List regarding upcoming event reminders, changes in a schedule or activity, special news, cancellations, announcements and other related material. QUICKMAILS are just that-quick and simple, usually just a reminder or a paragraph explaining a change in scheduling or a late add-on. Sometimes QUICKMAILS also include a spontaneous event that was requested by someone in the group, or the coordinator. QUICKMAILS may arrive in your inbox anytime, while TRAILMAILS will usually arrive weekly on a Thursday or Friday.
