GOOD NEWs and not so good news

First, I'm excited to tell you we have over 125 members!  That is so awesome.  OH, TMB and our group has so much to offer to each others and new comers.  You are a bunch of very special people and I am here to do anything I can to guide you through your journey as part of our group.

Second, I'd like to explain that because our group is so large we have surpassed the current OH capabilities and I can no longer send out a single group PM message.  While I love you all dearly, I absolutely do not have time to send over 125 seperate PMs.  So I have a favor to ask...especially about communicating our monthly meetings and any chats we decide to schedule.  How are we gonna get the word out?

If everyone wants to email me your email address I can create a single group and send emails.  I can post a notice on TMB telling you to check the group site for meeting details (I can do the main board to if we have members who spend more time there), but again I don't have time to post on a ton of boards and I know we have a widly diverse group.  So if you want me to post, we'll have to vote and use the two most preferred.  I can do 2 posts.  But, quite honestly I'd rather send an email and post on our discussion board.

I like it on our discussion board because it's an easy point of reference to come back to if you forget something.  I just need a way to tell you the info is there and my preference would be for email.  I get a ton of email in my 6 differentboxes, so I know that has its own obstacles.  But, that's just my vote.  Tell me what you want and  we will take it from there.  And again, only needing to establish this for meetings.  Any other announcements, tips or conversations will have to take place on the discussion board here on our group's site.

Thanks for your help and your input!

Tawyna,

Email works great for me. 

Another thought is using E-Vite.  Terrell Troopers uses that to send out their meeting reminders with the date, time and location as well as any additional info they want to share.

I would say whatever is most convenient for you Tawnya.  I have not been involved for quite awhile nor do I know if I will be, but please keep me informed of the group's happenings and I may be back.  I am not surprised this is such a large group.  The leaders are awesome inspirations!

I'll send my email later.

Email is fine by us.  [email protected]

George, can I get you to do me a favor please?  Would you help me and post on the board the details about the November meeting...date, time, address, directions, where the room is located or if the room has a name and such. 

Here is the discussion board link http://www.obesityhelp.com/group/dfwsg/discussion/

Later today I'm going to set up an evite and send a reminder.

thanks!!

I am a new member. . .Need some buddies for support. ..

T-do what works for YOU. Email and e-vite sound great to ME-but again-do what works for YOU-and don't be afraid to ask for HELP...

And if I haven't told you lately...

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO!!!!!!!!!!!

You could do email or evite. I like evite because you can see what everyone elses responses were too. Do what you have time for.

I think that Evite sounds great. You can set up a group e-mail address list (I think you can also set this up so e-mail addresses don't display, just the names). I know several people *****ally like Evite. You may want to consider Yahoo Groups. Whatever you decide, please make it as simple as possible for you. You do such a great job, I don't want to see you overwhelmed with details.
