Program
City of Fairhope Recreation Services sends low-volume account, facility, program, and membership text notifications to members who choose to receive them.
How Members Opt In
Members opt in during in-person account registration, membership purchase, membership renewal, or account update at City recreation facilities. Staff ask for permission to send text messages before enabling SMS notifications on the member account.
Members may also opt in on printed membership forms by writing their mobile number and checking the SMS consent box. The checkbox is not preselected.
