5. Optional: Sign up on the Signal app to privately chat with the Fling Group. To share information during the Fling, we will use the Signal app (no jokes, please), which was used at the last two Flings. It is a simple and secure way for all of us to communicate without using Facebook, having to worry about texting, etc. I found it very helpful in Puget Sound, and I hope you will join in the fun.

First, download the Signal app from your phone’s App Store.

Once you've downloaded Signal and set up your account on your phone, click the link below, and it should take you to a page with the Memphis Fling logo and an option to Join.
