National Relay Quilt (Posted 1/29/09)

The Relayers in Phillipsburg, New Jersey, have issued an interesting challenge...A massive Relay quilt to be constructed at their Event but shared across the nation, a la AIDS quilt. Read all about it here. This is not a typical ROCN Bulletin - but a great effort worth sharing across Relays and we're one of the better ways to reach out. More info? Contact Lisa Hayes, ROC, Phillipsburg (NJ) Relay. Have your Relay be part of something huge.

November enhancement release (Posted 12/16/08)

An IG for the November 2008 enhancements has been posted. Included in this release are several new and enhanced Event Manager functions, participant center email notification features and rich text editing of personal, team and company pages. The IG is also available on the ROCN site's IG page.

Participant and team page content missing (Posted 11/14/08)

The "Why I / we Relay" text boxes for participant and team pages appear to have been deleted on all South Atlantic Events. The issue has been reported to the Division team for immediate remediation. 
(As of 11/15 - Saturday a.m., this issue was corrected by the vendor.)

Reminder: Use the Returning Participant link (Posted 11/9/08)

In coaching emails, TC meetings and kick-offs, remind your participants that their FY08 email contacts and customized personal page content carries over to this year's Event if they sign in to this year's site with last year's username. The "Returning Participant..." log in link is right above the "Welcome to 2009 Relay For Life of..." line on the home page. (If you have someone whose account should have been validated as Event Manager and isn't, it's likely they failed to use the FY08 username in registering.)
