Hi Band! As was mentioned last night, one possible "vector" for getting the word out about upcoming UVCB concerts and events is through the large number of email lists (aka "listservs") supporting Upper Valley communities. For a complete list, see <http://lists.valley.net/lists/lists> To join a given list, you have a couple choices: 1. On <http://lists.valley.net/lists/lists>... * click on the list name (e.g. "[log in to unmask]") * click on "Subscribe" * enter the email you'll be using to receive and send 2. Alternatively, via email: send a blank message to "[log in to unmask]" * e.g. to subscribe to mascoma: "[log in to unmask]" Virtually all of the town listservs have rules restricting submissions to people in the applicable towns, and the content should be "relevant" to people in those towns. NOTE: As a member of the Vital Communities Listserv Advisory Board, I can say that one of the biggest issues we face is enforcement of these policies. PLEASE restrict your postings to your own town...although feel free to join any town's list you want! Note to Sarah: You might want to prepare a short example advert text that UVCB members can copy/paste into emails for their town lists; it would include... * "Dear fellow residents of <UpperValleyTown>..." * "Please join me and my Upper Valley Community Band-mates..." ;) -- John S.
