| Today I created a report in Apricot for a mailing we do every other month to about 200 people. |
 |
| I exported that Apricot report into Excel and filtered it by email. I sent those who don't have email (about 45 people) to someone else to create labels. I copied all those emails. |
 |
| I pasted the emails into word and made them all hyperlinks. |
 |
| I copied all the hyperlinked emails and pasted them into a blind carbon copy. I attached a digitalized version of the four papers we were going to mail. I added a explanatory note saying this was an experiment. I took three deep breaths, told myself "You can do this!" and with one click of my right pointer finger I sent out an email to about 150 people. I don't know why I was nervous. What could go wrong except they didn't get the information? I saved 150 stamps. So far 10 people have emailed me back saying they got it and they appreciate the email rather than a paper copy. I really wish my high school algebra teacher could see this accomplishment. What he taught us in high school had nothing to do with what I did today. His computer had a roll of 2 inch paper on the side and little holes were punctured leaving white dots of paper all over the floor. |
