Reminders - eMail and SMS

for Balloon Twister / Modeler Events

You can get a reminder for our events. We will send a reminder, the day before and then a reminder two hours before the event starts.

 

On the Detailed page for each event, there is a input box and a button labeled "remind me". If you put your email or sms address in the input box and click on the "remind me" button. You will receive two remainders for that event

 

You can send the reminder to a email address or a sms address (mobile phone)
