<P class=MsoNormal><B><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Helvetica">Dear Pianotech and
CAUT email group members,</SPAN></B><B><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Helvetica"><O:P> </O:P></SPAN></B></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Helvetica">If you haven’t already
heard the big news, the PTG has launched a newly redesigned web site along with
an exciting new social media site called my.ptg.org. This new site features a
wide variety of ways to connect and interact with chapter members, fellow
committee and task group members, the worldwide community of piano technicians
and others with similar interests. One effect of this change is that the old
mailing lists we used are gone and replaced with online forums.</SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Helvetica">To get started, go
to <A href="http://my.ptg.org/"><SPAN
style="COLOR: rgb(0,80,174)">http://my.ptg.org</SPAN></A>. <SPAN> </SPAN>If
you are a PTG member, use your PTG member number and assigned web password as
your login information. On the left side of the main page is a section called
"Getting Started". Follow the steps to set up your profile and preferences.
Just click the PTG logo at the top left or click "Home" to return to this main
page at any time.</SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Helvetica">If you are not a PTG
member, click on "Click here to set up a profile” in step #1. This takes
you to a page on the PTG web site where you can create a profile. After you have
completed the form, hit submit and you will see a welcome page with a link that
says “Please click here to join the PTG community.” Click on that link and it
will take you back to the my.ptg.org site to continue setting up your
profile.</SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><I><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Helvetica">Please note: If you
click on “Edit Contact Information” next to your picture, you can view and/or
change your login and password information by choosing “Change Password” from
the dropdown menu at the top of the page.</SPAN></I> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Helvetica">It is very important
that you follow #3 of "Getting Started" to set up your "notification settings."
You won’t get an email notification that there have been new messages
until you select "Real Time" to get each message as it is sent, "Daily Digest"
to get one post per day of all the discussions, or "PDA" to get a text-only
message suitable for smart phones. Discussions are searchable as is the
whole <A href="http://my.ptg.org/"><SPAN
style="COLOR: rgb(0,80,174)">my.ptg.org</SPAN></A> site.</SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Helvetica">You may notice missing
archives. Fear not for these shall return, in a new format, and will be
searchable.</SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Helvetica">We hope that you take
the time to explore the new interactive my.ptg.org and find out how you can
participate.<SPAN> </SPAN>Please contact us at <A
href="mailto:ptg@ptg.org">ptg@ptg.org</A> or call 913.432.9975 if you have
any problems, or have questions about becoming a part of my.ptg.org.</SPAN></P>
