The best way to learn about upcoming events is our e-mailing list. You'll hear us refer to it as the “listserv” and it facilitates lots of announcements and planning. Some of our most active members have schedule conflicts which prevent them from attending meetings, so they stay informed via the listserv. Even if you attend meetings regularly, you really should subscribe to the listserv, to keep up with late-breaking changes.
Joining the listserv is easy—just send an email to listserv@listserv.arizona.edu. Leave the email's subject blank, and type this in the body: subscribe ramblers YourFirstName YourLastName. Spelling is critical! Note that “listserv” ends with a “v” not an “e” and that “ramblers” is plural. Of course, put in your own first and last names. Your phone number is optional.
If all went well, you should receive a confirming message within a few minutes. If it doesn't work, try again with special attention to spelling. Save this confirming message for future reference, since it explains how to use the listserv commands.
Once you're on the list, you will receive messages that other Ramblers want everyone to see. You can reply to these messages or send your own mail to the list at ramblers@listserv.arizona.edu. Please remember that sending mail to the list sends mail to everyone. Private messages should not be sent to the list.
If you ever want to leave the mailing list, e.g. if your email address has changed or you have left the area, then send a message to listserv@listserv.arizona.edu (not to ramblers@listserv.arizona.edu). Check your spelling, because listserv does not have an “e” at the end of it. Leave the subject blank and type the following in the body: signoff ramblers. Make sure that you send this message from the same email address from where you subscribed to the listserv!
