Pickford E-Notices
In an effort to reduce the amount of waste we generate, we are excited to offer Pickford E-Notices, our new paperless communication. If we have your email, you will all future renewal notices, donation acknowledgements, and other PFC member communication via email, unless you email Marla and say “DO NOT EMAIL!” You will continue to receive the physical Pickford Cinema calendar by mail every two months unless you request otherwise. And of course, you can change your preferences at any time with a quick email or phone call. If we don't have your email, you can always add it to your member record. It’s easy to sign up, convenient to receive and file, and we’re not creating all that silly paper waste! Please note, this is not the same as the weekly Pickford Film Center update from Michael.
