We use a mailman mailing list...  well three mailman mailing lists.

One for staff and volunteers.  One for everyone that wants to discuss all things bicycle and co-op related.  One for major announcements and newsletters that goes to everyone that could ever want to get an announcement or newsletter from the co-op.

That seems to be working out ok as far as I can tell.  The staff list is great for notifying people of problems.  The general list is great to discuss anything that comes up.  The announcement list is great for getting the word out and pushing requests for volunteers and whatnot.  :-)

Wondering who on the list sends regular emails to their volunteers or staff, in the vein of "Come help us this weekend with....."?

I'm working on tuning up the system we use for this (right now it's just a Google Group) and am interested in seeing how others handle this.

Eventually, I'd love to be added to all of your lists, so that I can see how everyone else is writing about similar activities, and different approaches to getting help with stuff. If this is something I can do myself (subscribe from your website, i mean), please post a link to your website, and I'll add myself.

To clarify, I'm interested specifically in the calls for help, not news announcement after-the-fact type emails.

If anyone's interested in being put on our list, please let me know, and I'll add you.

Hope the incoming summer is treating you all well!

Thanks!

josh.
