E-MAIL COMMUNICATION WITH COMCAST USERS

There have been some issues with OSLM Staff sending emails out to those who use Comcast as their internet provider. Comcast has detected OSLM as spam and will not deliver oslm.net emails to Comcast email accounts. However, that spam guard is not set up with OSLM because Comcast emails are delivered to OSLM email accounts. This is a problem of which we are aware and working on with Comcast. As soon as it is fixed we will be able to communicate with those of you who have Comcast as your internet provider via e-mail.

♦ The election of new LGB members. Candidates are Judi Greenwalt, Marcus Schildbach, and Jacki Shotts. (The Nominating Committee would like to thank them and all of the other people who prayerfully considered serving as an LGB director.)
