Make Sure You Are Getting the Staff Newsletter

We’ve heard from some staff that the Menno Place Staff Newsletter has been going to their junk folder. This seems to happen most often with people using @icloud.com email addresses but it can affect other email programs as well. The best way to make sure you receive the staff newsletter is to add the newsletter email address as a contact. This lets your email program know that this is a trusted source you want to receive mail from.

Here’s how to add a contact on an iphone:

  1. Select your phone app, then click Contacts from the menu at the bottom.
  2. Click the + sign in the top right corner.
  3. Enter information for the new contact (Menno Place) with the email address  – newsletter@mennoplacemail.com .
  4. Select Done

Here’s how to add a contact on an android:

  1. On your Android phone or tablet, open the Contacts app .
  2. At the bottom right, tap Add .
  3. Enter the contact’s name and an email address. To pick the account where you want to save the contact: Next to your email account, tap the Down arrow.
  4. When you’re finished, tap Save.

If you are still having trouble receiving the newsletter make sure you are subscribed. You can add yourself here: https://mennoplacestaff.com/subscribe-emails/ . If you have any further issues please contact the Communications team Communications [at] mennoplace.ca.

Menno Home & Apartments staff,

We would like to inform you that for this year, the process for submitting second and subsequent vacation requests will remain the same. All requests can be submitted via paper and dropped off at the Staffing department. All other requests must be through the GoldCare employee portal.

If you have already submitted your request through the GoldCare employee portal, you do not need to submit a paper request.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Regards,
