> A NOTE ON E-LERTS
> E-lerts are COPE press releases and highlight information about upcoming
> civic activities. Here's how COPE uses them:
> (1) There are four types of E-lerts -- COMMUNITY, COUNCIL, PARKS and
SCHOOL.
> (2) There will likely be a maximum of three E-lerts a week for all
> boards/council.
> (3) You can sign up for selective E-lerts. To change your E-lert status,
> please reply to this e-mail by putting the name of the board or council
you
> wish to be E-lerted to in the subject line (e.g., Jane Doe wants Council
> and Parks so she replies with COUNCIL PARKS in the subject line).
COMMUNITY
> E-lerts are sent to everyone regardless of your E-lert status.
> (4) If you do not wish to receive E-lerts, please reply to this e-mail by
> putting "REMOVE" in the subject line.
> (5) If you know anyone who would like to receive E-lerts, please send
their
> name, phone number and e-mail address to cope at cope.bc.ca.
