Contact Us page - Spam protection

(This function, along with the Contact menu item in the top menu bar) have been disabled because spammer have been the only users of it.)
 
With a website like this, we need a way for people to contact us, hopefully reaching the right person readily. At the same time, publishing our email addresses on a public web site is a sure way to have it harvested by those who send unsolicited junk mail. We deal with these conflicting issues by the use of a publicly accessible Contact page together with individual member contact pages. The public Contact page, (a link to it can be found at the bottom of the Navigation menu on the left) allows our members or anyone who visits our site to direct a message to the right person in our club without needing to know that person's email address. At this point, the choices include

• Help request: The more information you give us, the better we will be able to help. This request will go to the person who maintains our website.
• Information request: If you would like to find out about our club or you are interested getting involved in Rotary, this is the place to ask. Your request will be sent on to our Membership Chair.
• Talk to our President: Messages here will be sent on to our club President right away.
• Attendance Credit: If you are a member of our club and have a makeup to report, let us know the date and event you attended.
• Rotary House: Contact Trevor about a Booking for Rotary House

We can add items to that list. It has the option of sending an acknowledgment email to the person completing the form. The other contact feature is that we have enabled individual contact forms. This means that if you post an event or a blog or any content that someone might want to respond to you directly about, you do not need to disclose your email address (and let the spammers get it). To see how this works, you will see at the top of this page, a link to my name. If you click on that link, it will take you to my user profile page and from there you can click on Contact. If you fill out the form there, it sends me an email without disclosing my email address. There is one of these for each of our members. It is also handy if you know a member's email address. With this, you don't need to know it.
