2019 DC Trip

May 16, 2019

Text Club

Please join the IAR Text Club. We’ll send schedule changes and reminders this way. Opt-in is the same 3 steps as in the past. You must join the text club even if you have done so in prior years. We wipe the text club clean each year to prevent being labeled a spammer and losing our group texting ability.

  1. Text DC to 71813.
  2. If you have done step #1 correctly you will get a confirmation text asking you to reply with the capital letter Y and your home zip code. Example, Y46204.
  3. If you have done step #2 correctly you will get a welcome text and you’re all set.
