How
do you communicate with others? Telephone? Snail-Mail? Semaphore? Or do you
prefer a more modern mode of communications such as email and the internet?
Clubs
need to be able to communicate with their members in an expeditious and timely
manner in order to alert them of important club business. The Photography Club uses its website and
email for this purpose. We understand that some folks prefer telephone and
mail, but these modes are slow and inefficient in getting important information
to all its members.
The
website (www.photography-scslv.club)
is updated regularly with new and revised information. Members are encouraged
to visit the site at least once a week or more to see if there are updates to
planned trips and events. Click
here for a brief tutorial on using the website.
Email
reminders are sent to members and guests before scheduled meetings and other
events. We respect your privacy and do not share your contact information with
anyone. We also abide with email etiquette and will not send email messages to
anyone who does not opt-in to our email.
The
Club Forum is a group email using Google Groups which allows members to post
their own messages and respond to messages of others in the group. All members
should opt-in and participate. You can use your favorite email address to join
the group; you do not need an @gmail.com address, but for security you do need
to register with Google.
The
club forum is flexible so you can control how frequently you receive email
reminders about new messages, from all messages, to summary messages, to no
messages at all (you need to go online to retrieve them). You can opt-out
anytime. If you leave the club, you will be removed from the list. It's secure
and available only to members who opt-in.
If
you are planning an event or have information to share with club members, use
the club forum. If there is a change in your plans, use the club forum as the
best way to reach members.
You
can use the forum from your ordinary email system by sending or forwarding your
message to: photography-scslv@googlegroups.com. Everyone in the group will get
your message.
If
you want to reply only to the sender of a group message, you can do that in the
group page by using REPLY. To reply to
the whole group, use REPLY ALL.
