Google Group

What is the WHCHA Google Group? Google, as well as other internet servers such as Yahoo!, allow users to create groups which are essentially a mailing list. Google has many groups covering a variety of topics and are very beneficial in helping people communicate. Some lists are public, such as the WHCHA group, and some lists are private, which means that members must be invited and approved, such as the WHCHA Board's group that is for Board members only.

By signing up for the WHCHA Google Group, you will be included in any email alerts and notices that concern the neighborhood. Perhaps there is a lost pet or a series of break-ins, perhaps there is an important City Board meeting that could affect our neighborhood, or maybe there is a special event or party. These are the types of things that the Board sent out via email previously.

There are many problems with a simple email list. People move in and out or simply change internet providers. The Board members change and the email list may not be easily transferable. Emails sent out en masse may be harvested by spammers. All of these problems are easily solved by the WHCHA Google Group! One email sent to the WHCHA Google Group will be distributed to everyone signed up! If your email address changes, you can go in and modify your account. If you move away from the neighborhood, you can easily sign off of the list.

Doesn't this sound like a great thing?!!? We know change can be difficult, so here are some instructions to get you started.

In order to get signed up for the group, you will either need to have signed up with Google in the past or will need to follow their verification process. The verification process simply involves being sent an e-mail with a link to click, which verifies that the e-mail address you submitted and does NOT have to be a gmail…or google…account, is valid. The Google system will walk to you through this process – it's just two simple steps. First, click on the "Join this group" link found below. If you have used Google's services before you will just sign in on the right as normal. If you have never used Google's services, click the Sign Up Now link on the left side of the page, and it will ask you to fill in a brief form that includes: your regular e-mail address; the password you would like to use for this group which is just for Google Groups; a nickname for yourself if desired; and, to complete a verification box (just type the letters you see in the box provided which ensures that you are a person, and not a computer program or spammer. If you are a new Google Groups member, you will need to go into your regular email account and find the new email from WHCHA Google Groups. Open that email and click on the verification link. THIS IS REQUIRED! If do not do this your subscription will not be completed.
