Sending Text messages (SMS)

Sending text message (SMS) as a STAFF or CLUB ADMIN is a one-directional SMS message delivery system.  Each message is sent as an individual text message so that it does not create a group text and can have a signature of the sender for easy response, by simply clicking the phone number in the signature to respond.   All phone numbers will be de-duplicated and the recipient will only receive one message, even if their number shows up multiple times on the list.
