Every May before Memorial Day the Honor Rolls (Washington state people killed in battle) should be updated. In adding names to the honor rolls, we follow the direction of the Garden of Remembrance Advisory Board (the Garden of Remembrance is the garden of stone walls with names inscribed behind Benaroya Hall on 3rd Avenue in Seattle).
The contact is Dave Barber

The board goes through considerable deliberation as to whether a name should go on the list. The names on the list are only people from Washington state (not people briefly stationed here or launched from here).
If there is a death reported in the newspaper (of someone killed in Iraq or Afghanistan, for example) it’s fine to add the name at any time (as long as the person is definitely from Washington state).
But every May we also need to contact Dave and get the new list and update it in time for Memorial Day.

1. Edit the thing.

2. Go to staff site.

Use the Subscriber manager link to access the dropdown

3. Click manage subscriber, then click bulk send subscriber letter

4. The “bulk send” interface has a place for text to be entered.  In most cases one will paste the text from an edited word document.  Select all the old text and delete, then paste in the new text.   Change the email address for the preview email to an address the user has access to.  Then click the “Preview Email” button.

Bulk Send Interface

The text in the text only version window will be sent to the provide preview address.  The bulk send interface will be replaced by a page with two links.  One to return to the bulk send interface for editing the newsletter and one to send out the news letter.  Once the preview newsletter has been reviewed and approved, the “red” link to send the newsletter may be clicked.  Once the process is complete the user will get a notice of how many emails have been sent.
