Instructions & Guidelines for Using KofC "Yahoogroups" E-Mail

The purpose of our KofC "yahoogroups" is to provide an efficient means of e-mail communication throughout our entire Council. All requests for subscribing to "yahoogroups" must be approved by the group moderators and/or the Grand Knight. Once approved for membership, brother Knights must follow a simple sign-up procedure (instructions below) and are then able to send and receive emails to all other subscribing Council members via one address. Please note, however, that all sent messages are "moderated" for appropriate content, security & protection of our members. This screening function is handled by 2 (or more) Council members, officers or program directors and messages are, normally, released the same day they are sent.

The following is a list of guidelines for the appropriate use of "yahoogroups" e-mail:

• E-mail is to be used (sent) only by subscribing Council members.



• E-mail is to be limited to "official Council business", generally defined as any communication regarding Council meetings, programs, Degree dates/announcements, elections, Council events/activities & reminders and membership information



• E-mail replies, usually, need to be directed to the sender only... unless a "Reply All" is, otherwise, necessary or requested



• E-mail & content considered "inappropriate" or "unacceptable" (and, therefore, may not be released for forwarding) include (but not limited to):



• Political statements, announcements or solicitations
• Commercial info or advertising
• Editorials (personal or passed on)
• Chain letters/e-mails of any type
• Jokes, stories, puzzles, etc.
• Pictures, cartoons, slide shows, etc. that are not, specifically, of Council events & activities
• Inflammatory comments, reprimands, non-constructive criticism or mean-spirited messages of any type
• Family announcements (excluding births or deaths of Brother Knights & immediate family members)
• Personal solicitations of any type
