Countdown to all MAD 2015 Events

Tidewater VA, August 29
Southport NC, September 19
Lewes DE, October 10
Charleston SC, November 14

Changes to MAD event registration process announced.

Military Appreciation Day Inc. (MAD) is changing our  Guest registration process to make it easier for our guests to sign up for MAD events across the country.

Based on feedback from past participants we have decided to simplify our registration process.  Going forward MAD will no longer collect any information other than guests name, email address and phone number.  This information will be housed on secure servers prior to the event and we will continue to purge all information immediately after the event to ensure confidentiality.

Information collected by MAD is never used or shared by anyone external to the organization except to confirm event participation.

This new registration process will make it easier for our guests and ensure that data security remains a top priority.

 

Thank you,

Scott Krieger
