Receive Notification of Important Messages

Enrollment for Connect-CTY one-step notification for important city messages

[HILLCREST VILLAGE, TX – July 14, 2008] – The City of Hillcrest Village announced today it has selected the Connect-CTY mass notification service from Blackboard Connect Inc. (NASDAQ: BBBB). The city conducted its first community-wide test call on July 22, 2008.

Hillcrest Village has implemented the Connect-CTY service to provide city officials the ability to communicate with residents regarding time-sensitive incidents, which may include planned and unforeseen public safety matters.

The Connect-CTY service allows officials to record, send and track personalized voice messages to thousands of residents in just minutes, through a single phone call. The city can also send text messages to cell phones, PDAs, e-mail accounts, and TTY/TDD receiving devices for the hearing impaired. The service requires no additional hardware; it can be used from any computer with Internet access or just a telephone, ensuring that officials can send vital messages from wherever they are located.

“I encourage Hillcrest Village residents to enter their contact information into the Connect-CTY service database to ensure they are prepared to receive important city notifications,” Mayor Tom Wilson said.
