I’d like to encourage everyone to double check the email address of those they intend to send email to before they hit “SEND.”
Email addresses of folks in service using
1. Area Officers – these addresses are on the “General Service” tab.
2. District Committee Member addresses take a little more work. First go the “Districts” tab, then pick the district and you’ll find the email address. There’s also a simple rule for DCM addresses, they are all in the form of dcmX@hawaii-aa.org where X is the number of the district! So District 2 (Honolulu) would have an address that starts as dcm2@
3. Standing Committee Chair addresses are found by going to the “Committees” tab, then picking the committee.
You may be asking why I don’t simply put all the addresses here. I have given it a bit of thought and feel that putting our addresses all over the website will only encourage Spam emailers. I’ve noticed that once my address (area17webmaster@hawaii-aa.org) was put up in a lot of places, I started receiving a lot of spam. To keep that to a minimum for the rest of the users, I’m going to keep things as they are for now.
Next you may ask what happens an email is addresses incorrectly. It’s simple. It ends up in my mailbox and I generally forward it to the correct person and let the sender know the correct address. In fact, I’m writing this because lately there have been a lot of emails ending up in my box so I suspect that people are using this email system more, which is good, but of course, that usage adds to the number of occasional errors.
So please, check those addresses before you send.
Thanks and Aloha! Your Area 17 Webmaster
