How to join and communicate with the neighborhood via the WPNNA Yahoo! Group The WPNNA Yahoo! Group has been created to improve neighborhood communication by allowing members to email the rest of the neighborhood without having to know everyone’s email address. This e-mail notification system has been used to distribute crime reports, send reminders about neighborhood clean-up days, advertise available nanny positions, search for play dates for children new to the neighborhood, and inform neighbors of changes to city services, etc. If you haven’t received an invitation to join the group and you are interested, the following steps should get you set up. 1. Email [email protected] and ask to be accepted into the WPNNA Yahoo! Group. Once you are accepted, you will receive an email containing the usage policy for the WPNNA Yahoo! Group. Then, you are ready to proceed. Please note that you must be a paying member of the West Paces Northside Neighborhood Association to be accepted as a member of the WPNNA Yahoo! Group. 2. Another approach is to email [email protected] or [email protected] and ask to have an invitation sent to you. 3. Watch your email inbox for your invitation. The actual invitation will come from: [email protected]. The subject line will be Yahoo! Groups: You’re invited! Join wpnna today. When you receive your invitation, accept the invitation (there will a button to click on to “join this group”). (See figure 1.) 4. If you receive an email from Ronnie saying that she has sent you an invitation, but you don’t receive an invitation, check your spam folders, etc. for the invitation. 5. Clicking on “join this group” will take you to an Invitation screen for Yahoo! Groups. (See figure 2.) Please note, you do not have to have a Yahoo! ID to receive the emails of this group – just click on “join the mailing list instead” rather than “join the group” … your current email address will work just fine. If you want to be able to access the web features, however, you must have a Yahoo! ID (you can still use another id to receive email). These features include the pet directory and the databases where neighbors can recommend services to neighbors. 6. You will be taken to a Congratulations screen (see figure 3.) and you will receive a welcoming email (see figure 4.). You are all set! 7. Anytime you have a message of importance to the neighborhood, just send an email to the address: [email protected] – it will be forwarded to all members of the WPNNA Yahoo! Group and stored on the group website. 8. If you have any comments or questions, please contact Ronnie at [email protected] or [email protected]. NOTE: Anytime you receive a message with [wpnna] at the beginning of the subject line, it has been forwarded from the WPNNA Yahoo! Group. When you reply to one of these messages, your reply only goes to the sender of the message. If you want the entire WPNNA Yahoo! Group to receive your reply, scroll to the bottom of the message and choose “Reply to group”. Figure 1. This invitation expires in 30 days.
