Recently, the PTF Web Weavers have been asked "Where's My Email Blast?".
We have decided there could be several reasons why you did not get a blast for an event or outing.
The most common are as follows:
- Due to it being a "Bulk" mail program it may be in your Spam Folder - Adding the following email address to your address book will help alleviate this problem. yigp.announce-bounces@yigp.org (Do not send emails to this address as it is not monitored)
- Do we have your correct email address? Just in case we have added a button on the left margin of our website to Subscribe, Un-subscribe or change your existing email address. Please feel free to use the Email List Button subscribe yourself for future email blasts.

Bulletin: Where can I get one of those great tribal VESTS?
|
|
While attending one of the PTF's Pow Wows, the above question came up.
The answer is simple. It is a business called "The Patch Store" and by clicking HERE you will find a printable order form for your tribal vests. You can also order on line by going directly to the Patch Stores web site and click on the tab "VESTS" Any questions, here is another link to the Patch Stores web site.
A word from a wise old chief - Order your Childs vest bigger than you would normally .. It may be too big on them in Kindergarten or 1st grade, but before you know it they will be in 4th or 5th grade and have run out of room for those coveted patches.
