A "Google Group" is basically an email list. Subscribers send news and other messages to the list, and they are reflected to all the other subscribers. Only subscribers can send to the list, so additional spam will not be generated. The membership list can be seen only by list managers, not the regular subscribers, to protect your privacy.
Typical messages are about parties, street cleaning, meeting announcements, and significant crimes.
All residents and nearby neighbors who have a legitimate interest in Westminster Place news are encouraged to subscribe. There are two ways to subscribe to the list:
1) If you have a GMail account, just direct your Web browser to http://groups.google.com/group/WestminsterPlace and click on "Sign in and apply for membership," or
2) Without GMail just send the exact name and email address you would like to have subscribed, and what your interest in Westminster Place is, to dan@landiss.com.
That's all there is to it! Hope to see you there soon.
