How can I contact a old shipmate who I've lost track of?
- Members can ask the Membership Committee to help reunite them with other shipmates. Here's how the scenario plays out.
-- Member A wants to reconnect with Member B.
-- Member A emails the Membership committee (Bancroft@Bancroft643.org) with Member B's name and any other information about that person. Member A gives the Membership Committee permission to give Member B their contact information.
--If the Membership Committee can find Member B, and they have a way to contact them, they'll contact Member B and ask if they can share their contact information (email, or phone number - or both) with Member A.
-- If Member B accepts, the two are connected. If Member B declines, Member A is informed of that decision.
