IMPORTANT:

ACCESS: It is your responsibility to secure access to receive our email. Security settings in your email program, web browser, local network, or ISP (Internet Service Provider) may need to be changed to grant access.
SECURITY: Some security programs alert with a ‘False Positive”, in other words, it is not true that there is a threat. Tommy’s Window email is with GoDaddy Email Marketing through: gem.godaddy.com, which is a safe and secure service. This service only tracks clicks on the email links, which is harmless, for us to keep track of how many people are accessing our shows. Please allow this to function.
