<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Verdana">Greetings members!</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Verdana">You may have noticed receiving an email recently welcoming you to a mailing list you had signed up for. </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Verdana">In case you wondered how you got subscribed to the list, this is the list we use for announcements to Exiles members. We used to host our lists on Topica, but the service did not suit us for a number of reasons and so we did not keep the Topica mailing list up to date. We just got new webhosting which includes the ability to host our own lists, hence this one was set up.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Verdana">Here's how it works.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Verdana">ExilesMembers@theexilessf.net is an announcements-only list. It is used for announcements related to Exiles business and occasionally other areas of interest to the membership. This is not a general chat list and all posts are moderated, meaning that they are held until approved. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Verdana">Examples of things you will find on this list:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Verdana">Announcements for Exiles programs and events</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Verdana">Calls for volunteers for Exiles programs and events</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Verdana">Occasional announcements for other events we believe many of our members will want to hear about</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Verdana">Examples of things you will not find on this list:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Verdana">Personal messages</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Verdana">Want ads</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Verdana">You will receive a monthly email from the list with instructions on how to use the list, including unsubscribing and changing your email address. If you do change your address, please also send an email to membership@theexiles.org so we can change our address on file for you as well.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Verdana">Thanks for your being a member of the Exiles!</FONT>
