MISSING RETIREES

Congratulations KPNW retirees! You have successfully joined the KaPeRsNW  web site.

Don't forget you can log back into your account any time by using the gray login box in the upper right corner of our site's home page at https://www.KaPeRsNW.com/

IMPORTANT: In order to ensure you receive important messages from our class web site, as well as messages sent directly to you from other Retirees, it's important you whitelist the email address noreply@classcreator.net (that's a .net, not a .com).

What is whitelisting? Whitelisting simply means you are telling your email program to accept all emails coming from our class web site and our Retirees. The technique for whitelisting varies by email program, but generally you will see the term "Whitelist", "Safe List", or "Safe Sender's List". This is where you want to be sure you have added the email address noreply@classcreator.net.

Class Creator, the system that helps us operate our class web site, uses the address noreply@classcreator.net when sending out email messages. Be assured that all emails sent through our site are valid — you will not receive spam email. Whitelisting noreply@classcreator.net is the single most important thing you can do to ensure you don't miss anything happening on our site or miss receiving emails from your fellow Retirees.

Stop and take a moment to whitelist noreply@classcreator.net right now, and ensure you stay connected!

Please don't hesitate to email me if you need any assistance using our site. Thanks again for joining, and welcome aboard!

Sincerely,

Stephanie Schoap
