Thoughtful Foods utilises four separate mailing lists through riseup.net, a service that supports community organisations. (Read more about them
here.)
The lists we have are as follows:
Announcements list (thoughtful-foods-announce)
This list is where we publish our weekly email bulletin, and is our primary way of informing members about important notices. We strongly recommend all members subscribe to this list.
Chat list (thoughtful-foods-chat)
All members on this list can discuss topics broadly related to the co-op. This list isn't very active in practice, but has the potential to be high volume.
Management list (thoughtful-foods-management)
This allows coordinators and regular volunteers to easily communicate.
Directors' list (thoughtful-foods-directors)
This is a list allowing directors to discuss and plan various things while keeping an archive in a central location. It also allows members to contact all directors easily. If you have something you'd like to let directors know or a question you'd like to ask, send an email to thoughtful-foods-directors@lists.riseup.net.
Subscribing and other options
If you'd like to subscribe to any of these lists, send an email to [
listname]-subscribe@lists.riseup.net, where [
listname] is the name listed in parentheses above. (For example, send an email to
thoughtful-foods-announce-subscribe@lists.riseup.net if you want to subscribe to the announcements list.) it's that simple!
You do not need an account through riseup.net to be added to lists, but you can create one in order to log in and change your subscription options. For more details about using a riseup.net account,
subscribing or unsubscribing from a list, and
changing your digest options, please check out their very helpful help page
