New Emergency Message Service

The age of technology is here to help us communicate.  We've always wished for a faster way to communicate an emergency situation here in the park like:  Water being shut off, electrical outage, major internet shut down, etc.   AND with the golf course believe it or not, there may be frost delays or water problems to report.

Now we have a way to receive those emergency messages on our cell phones.  I found this poster on the front desk this morning.  One side is for the park in general:

and the other is for the golf course:

First question:  How do I do this on my phone?

Go to your text message app on your phone and enter 22452 as the recipient number to call.

In the "message" box, type PALM

Then send the text.

You will soon receive a text like this:

 It will also say "rates may apply.  Reply stop2end, or help4help

Since we don't anticipate there being many of these texts during a year, I'm sure the message rate won't be significant.

Follow this same procedure again by texting to the same number 22452 but this time type GOLF in the message box.  You will then receive a similar text saying you are linked.  

The message you receive from the Pro Shop will read:

"Thanks for joining PALM CREEK PRO SHOP!  Stay tuned for instant news and events from our Pro Shop!  Book a tee time here:  http://su1.co/nw1HSp Up to 4

I tried both this morning and it worked perfectly on the first try.  Congratulations to our IT department for stepping into the modern age of communication.
