[UCIMC-Tech] CiviCRM and Vertical Response

[Chris Ritzo]

I'd like to offer assistance if you need it with group creation and
importing. CiviCRM has some excellent documentation online as well.
http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC33/CiviCRM+Documentation

Also would like to suggest that the group be created in CiviCRM prior to
importing so that they can be designated separately from members at the time
of import. These are individuals who signed on for event related promotional
emails, maybe for an appeal or two.
