The Mount Pleasant Recreation Department is making changes to its systems for communicating information to patrons about “rained-out” games and activities.  The “Rainout Hotline” previously used by the department will no longer be used and the Mount Pleasant Recreation Department (MPRD) is encouraging patrons to use other means to obtain this information.
MPRD staff strives to notify patrons in advance when a game or activity is canceled or delayed due to inclement weather. MPRD will continue updating the department’s “Rainout” Web page at www.mtpleasantrec.com with pertinent information, as well as encouraging patrons to sign up for a notification service from the Web site www.RainedOut.com.
With the independently run Web site RainedOut.com, participants can register to receive free e-mail as well as cell phone text message alerts any time an MPRD activity or game has been canceled or delayed due to rain.  Participants may sign up to receive alerts about a specific area of interest. For example, patrons may choose to receive alerts about MPRD soccer game cancellations only, or about MPRD soccer, tennis, baseball and more.  Participants will not need to pay a fee to the Web site or to MPRD to receive this notification service. However, applicable wireless company charges may apply depending on participants’ wireless text messaging service plans.
For more information on signing up to receive MPRD rainout information at www.RainedOut.com, pick up a flyer on the service at any MPRD facility or visit http://www.mtpleasantrec.com/downloads/rainedout.pdf.
