when and how to "announce"

[jol]

once all are registered here - we will be able to use the announcement option or messages section of this forum to communicate - ie one message to the group. or with announcement not having to message at all.

with an important topic before clicking Post, you choose "additional options" and check 'announce' which then gives you the option to send the announcement to a particular membergroup - eg -you choose "southlakelanders". and all registered members of that group receive a pm (including an email automatically)  **use this option sparingly for time constrained action/reaction required.

i shall use this for example  when all are registered, or we are within a week of the meet say,  for the "first meeting agenda" topic -- which i will 'modify' and choose 'announce'.....
