[NEohioPAL] Tip for all NEOPAL users -- Please tell us your LOCATION

[Pamela Hammond]

I opened several e-mails from NEOPAL today that I thought someone here may
be interested in and once again found a fairly common problem -- when users
are writing their e-mails they very often don't mention where they are
located.  Those who are posting need to keep in mind that the NEOPAL e-mails
are distributed all over the place.  A person may be interested in taking
your voice lessons or playing in your pit band, etc. but they can't know if
they're interested if they don't know where you are located.  We are located
in Ashtabula County.  A lot of our patrons would perhaps be willing to
audition for a show or take a class if you are offering it as far away as,
say, Chardon or Willoughby but not if the announcement is for Akron or
Sandusky. And I'm sure most of you who are on the west side of Cleveland
aren't going to be interested in taking voice lessons with someone in
Ashtabula. I have found that it helps people looking for events in my area
if I put "Ashtabula" somewhere right in the subject line.  But at the very
least, please put it in the body of your e-mail.

Thanks :-)
