Approximately ten percent of our mailing is returned. Some of
the returned copies will give a new address. We update our database
with the new address for the next mailing. Another copy of the
current brochure is not automatically mailed. A copy of the 2008
brochure is on this web site at
www.rochesterhamfest.org/hfbroch8.pdf.
The balance of the returned copies are marked:
The U.S. Postal Service advises:
If you did not receive your copy of the 2007 brochure, have recently
moved, or perhaps been assigned a new mailing address, please be
kind enough to send an email message to
brochure@rochesterhamfest.org
with your new address.
If you have received your brochure with an incorrect address on the
mailing label, we would appreciate having your new address. If you
have a new call, tell us what it is so we may update our
information.
Your name on our mailing list assures you a copy of future Hamfest
brochures. The list is never sold or released to anyone.
Our list is not mixed or merged with other lists -- including
FCC's. Silent key names are removed when brochures are returned
marked "deceased" or when a family member writes to tell us.
This is the FCC Rule concerning your mailing address:
§97.23 Mailing address.
Keep the FCC informed when you have a change of address. Tell the hamfest too,
so you will continue to receive your mailing each year.
NOTE: Because of high postal rates for international mail, the
brochure is no longer mailed to Canadian and other international addresses.
All the
information contained in the brochure appears on this web site.
