Mendele Personal Notices and Announcements

August 15, 2014

To minimize wear and tear on the untershames, three requests:

1. Send time-sensitive notices well in advance.

2. Send material as plain text to victor.bers at yale.edu
<http://mailman.yale.edu/mailman/listinfo/mendele> as plain text (no
HTML, other coding,or

attachments and write MENDELE PERSONALS in the subject line.

3. Correspond directly with the person who or organization which has posted
the notice, *not* with your ever-beleaguered untershames.
