While our website with Club Express has improved we are still experiencing some delays in access or being unable to send out an E-Blast. Here is the latest update from Club Express.
Dear Club Admin,

I wanted to provide a brief update regarding the ongoing site performance issues. Please know that this remains our highest priority, and our teams continue to actively investigate and address issues as they arise.

 

We have made meaningful progress since last week and have resolved several underlying issues. While those efforts have improved overall stability, we continue to identify and work through new issues each day as we address the remaining impacts.

 

Our teams are monitoring site performance closely and dedicating all necessary resources to improving stability and the overall user experience. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue this work.

 

I will continue to provide updates as soon as I have additional information to share.

 

Warm regards,

ClubExpress Team
