The Montour-Trail email discussion group is a way for people with an interest in the Montour Trail to communicate.

The purpose of the group is to allow communication among the Board, the membership, volunteers, and trail users. When significant developments occur, subscribers will be the first to hear about them. In turn, if you have comments or questions, feel free to post them on the group for the Board and other subscribers to see.

We also center much of our volunteer efforts around the email group. When we have a need for clean-up crews, race/event volunteers, or individuals with special skills, such requests will go out over the email group. If you were previously on our volunteer phone list, you should subscribe to the new email group.

To subscribe: simply send a blank email to Yahoo will email you a request to confirm your subscription. Reply to that message, and you'll receive a "Welcome to Montour-Trail" message that indicates you're subscribed! The process takes less than 5 minutes. Then from time to time you'll receive email about the trail, and you'll be able to send email to all the other subscribers.

Important: If you don't receive the "Welcome to Montour-Trail" message, or you experience any other subscription difficulties, please let me know at .

Alternatively, if you have a Yahoo ID (or would like to sign up for one) you can subscribe yourself via the Yahoo Groups website. Visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Montour-Trail and follow the instructions on your screen. This will give you access to additional group features, such the message archive, and the ability to turn off banner ads in mail sent to you. Subscribing via the web requires a moderate degree of computer proficiency.

To post a message, send email to . Your message will be delivered to each of the current subscribers to the group, including yourself.

Please be considerate of others when making posts. Attachments are not permitted in group emails. Keep your messages short and to the point. Do not post jokes or virus warnings. Voicing differences of opinion is encouraged as long as it is done in a civil manner. Personal attacks on other members can be grounds for removal from the group.

This discussion group is based on a free service of Yahoo, and Yahoo supports this service though the sale of advertising. In messages you receive, you will probably see a few lines of advertising at the end, or a banner ad. The Montour Trail Council does not endorse the products advertised, and neither encourages nor discourages its members from patronizing the advertisers.

If your subscription is via the Yahoo Groups website (see above) you can remove banner ads from group email sent to you. Click on "Delivery options", and select "No conversion."

If you post a message to the group, your email address will, of course, be visible to other members of the group, but it should not be available to non-subscribers.

Yahoo Groups has a strict anti-spam policy also.
