Hi all!
A handy way to avoid disappointment is to “teach” your email program to not send items from the CBC to spam. Spam filters are the most fickle of beasts. Mine cannot seem to realize, for example, that I am not in any way interested in either “Elon’s Heater” or a “VolteX Heated Vest”.
Most/all email programs have a way to mark erroneously spammed mail as “safe”. For example, in Outlook, simply right click on the message, scroll down to Junk and click “never block sender’s domain”, This *should* ensure that anything coming from the Club is delivered. Other programs have a similar pathway.
And this handy trick works for any other type of email you get that is incorrectly sent to spam!
Happy emailing!

Subject: The Winter Chat 2025 is now available to Carolina Bird Club members for downloading
Folks,
I learned a few minutes ago from a CBC member that the expected quarterly notice from the Carolina Bird Club, regarding the availability of the latest issue of The Chat, was sent out to members on January 6. But, the catch is that he found his announcement only in his Spam email box, and that is also where my CBC announcement was sent -- the Spam mailbox. (I seldom check my Spam mailbox.) It was never "sent" to our Inbox or All Mail box, where a message like this should have been received. My computer identified the message (incorrectly) as spam. (I hope the CBC "staff" can fix this problem -- why it was identified as spam).
So, if you are a CBC member, if you have not already seen such an announcement, please look in your Spam box on your computer or phone. It should be there, dated January 6.
If you don't see it there, or elsewhere on your computer, you can also see the announcement on the CBC Home Page, about the 8th notice/message down the page. There is an active link to the Winter 2025 Chat. Again, you will need to be a CBC member to receive the issue, as you will need to enter your Email address and a Password to access the issue.
