Brian,
You have a good idea. It would be great for the mail to be in digest
form.

list
I think even better, would be a GCC Forum set up on the
website. That forum could contain categories for classified, equipment
wanted, training and health, misc discussions, and ride info
etc.
Any member could access the forum and through their options
subscribe to whatever threads they desired. Email notifications as to
thread updates are than completely under each persons control ... or
optionally just checking the site for info and personal messages. I
participate in forums, this way, in different industries and it works
perfectly.

Hello everyone!
My name is Dale Gunnoe, and Im
a new member to GCC. Although I haven't made it out on a group ride yet, I
feel that I should share a few thoughts with you.
I recently moved
here from NYC, but I am a Gainesville native. While living in NYC, I was
responsible for managing a list similar to what GCC offers for a social
group of about 700 members. I emailed weekly updates and info, etc.
I would highly recommend changing to a program that emails all
members once daily or weekly, rather than multiple emails from every
member. I find that my inbox is cluttered and the emails have different
formats and are hard to read.
An option would be to
consolidate want ads, tips, and ride schedules, and this info could
be emailed to one member weekly, who would be the master of
ceremonies of email. For example, if you have something to post, send it to
the elected member by a specific day each week to make the mailing for the
following week. I know that for certain rides, the schedules change, but
this would make it very simple. I used a program called constant contact,
which I found very user friendly and inexpensive.
Thanks for
reading this email, and Im anxious to get out on the road with fellow
bicycle enthusiasts!
Dale Gunnoe
