Text Messaging

1. The vast majority of text messages will go to event attendees to help them get the most out of their event experience, know where to go, when to eat, etc.. For example: “Our keynote presentation begins in 10 minutes. Please make your way to the ballroom.” In rare circumstances, we may also use text for community organizing. 
2. You can cancel the SMS service at any time. Just text "STOP" to the short code. After you send the SMS message "STOP" to us, we will send you an SMS message to confirm that you have been unsubscribed. After this, you will no longer receive SMS messages from us. If you want to join again, just sign up as you did the first time and we will start sending SMS messages to you again.
3. If you are experiencing issues with the messaging program you can reply with the keyword HELP for more assistance, or you can get help directly at cjeppesen@oregonresource.org
4. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages
5. As always, message and data rates may apply for any messages sent to you from us and to us from you. Event attendees, if they sign up for text updates, could receive 1-3 each day of the event. Community organizing texts will go out no more than a few times each year. If you have any questions about your text plan or data plan, it is best to contact your wireless provider.
