All members who have an e-mail
address should subscribe to this e-mail list. The purpose of this list is
for the communication of chapter business including:











 


 


 

bulletChapter business, such as meeting announcements, updates to website
or roster, newsletter information

bulletMothers & More event updates or information, such as Book Club,
Chapter picnic, Wine Tasting, Fitness Club events, etc.

bulletEvent updates not necessarily affiliated with Mothers & More but
of interest to our members, such as free day at the zoo, garage sales
and community events of interest


bulletUpdates on members and their families, including birth announcements
and members in need of care or meals

bulletRequests for information or services, such as plumbers,
electricians, etc. (Please check the Members'
Choice/Referrals website
first to see if there are already “Members
Choice” listings for the service you are looking for.)

bulletSale of items by members/Wanted items


When selling items or requesting items, use the Subject line of your
email to make it clear what you are communicating so that people may
delete the emails that are not of interest to them.  For example,
“For Sale : Graco High Chair,” “Sold : Graco High Chair,” “Wanted
:  Girls 6x Cinderella costume,” “Wanted : Nanny 2x a week”
are all clear subject lines.
bulletCommunity Service Business

This includes chapter-sanctioned events such as blood drives, Douglas
County Women’s Crisis Center events and drives, Race for the Cure,
Dress for Success Drive, Kempe Center Drive.  You must go through
the Community Service chapter lead for all other community service
related events or drives.  This will allow us to streamline
emails and not overwhelm people with requests for items or services.


bulletJob postings/Member business information:  We have always
stated that part of supporting our chapter members is that we will
allow them to e-mail the group about their business and any ongoing
news items related to their business.  Examples are an email
telling the chapter about your new business, updating prices or
services offered, reminders about open houses or sales.  For
information about member businesses, click
here
bulletMeeting Minutes are also posted on the
website
bulletInformation that is of direct relevance to the networking and
support nature of our Mothers & More chapter, such as recall
notices, craft ideas, etc. 

 

The following are NOT allowed on the hrmothersandmore

loop:






bulletAnything political in nature
bulletAnything religious in nature
bulletJokes
bulletUrban Legends
bulletControversial issues, such as whether or not to vaccinate your
child, articles on why formula is bad for your baby, etc.
bulletTouching Stories
bulletNews about possible scams or virus warnings unless verified

and approved by moderator.
bulletEmail petitions, regardless of the cause
bulletSolicitations for items sold by kids (including wrapping paper,

A few notes on this “not allowed” list:






bulletCreate and make use of a personal mailing list to send out things
that you want to be able to reach others with (petitions, political
articles, etc.)
bulletDon't scare people about scams that you haven't verified. 
bulletDon't perpetuate urban legends.  Check websites like:  href="http://www.snopes.com/">http://www.snopes.com/ or target="_blank" href="http://www.urbanlegends.com/" eudora="autourl"> color="#0000ff">http://urbanlegends.com/ to
verify.
bulletRemember, we ALL have kids and we can't inundate each other with
requests to purchase the many things they will sell through the
years!
bulletMothers and More is not politically or religiously affiliated so
emails of this nature are inappropriate.
bulletIf you even have a hint that something is controversial,
don't send it out.  Use your personal email list or contact the
Mothers and More egroup moderator.

bulletAnything else that is not chapter business related

appropriate. 




We don't want to get in a position where every email has to go through the
moderator, but as our chapter grows in size, we do have to be careful and
mindful of what we send out to 170 people. 



If you have any questions or comments regarding these guidelines, please href="mailto:jmartin1000@attbi.com">e-mail the chapter moderator.

E-mail questions on membership to  1. Please do not post anything that is not directly related to the nature of our chapter business. The "nature of our chapter business" is defined on the homepage at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/hrmothersandmore/ This loop is for chapter business to include: meeting minutes, event updates (to include events not necessarily affiliated with Mothers & More such as free day at the zoo), updates on members and their families, requests for information or services, job postings, and any other information that is of direct relevance to the networking and support nature of our Mothers & More chapter. Please use hrmothersandmore-other@yahoogroups.com for all other messages. 2. Please do not forward anything at all to the loop without prior approval. A "forward" is a message that you did not write yourself and is forwarded from some other source. It is often urban legend or spam. 3. Please do not send anything religious or political in nature. 4. Please do not send jokes, humor, urban legends, warnings, touching stories, or anything of that nature. You can send non-religious and non-political e-mails of this nature to hrmothersandmoreother@yahoogroups.com 5. Send your messages without photo attachments. You may include, "Photo available upon request." 6. Messages that fail to meet the guidelines will be deleted and the sender's future messages will require approval before they are posted. 7. If you are uncertain about the content of your message, feel free to just e-mail me and ask. Be mindful that there are over 150 women currently on the general loop. That is a fantastic resource. Please use your common sense to determine whether this group will want or need to read what you are sending. 8. Feel free to compile recommendations that you receive when you send out a request for a great photographer, carpet cleaner, etc. Delete the member names when you send results to the loop. Not everyone writes a recommendation as if it is for an "audience." They are writing it to you. 9. Avoid using the loop to petition or raise money for a cause, unless it is supported by Mothers & More or is a community service committee project (e.g., SIDS Lobster & Steak Sale; toy drive). 10. Have fun!
