Has anyone seen our dog? I'm not so sure about the new zoning regulation for the village - let me tell you about my concerns... Wanted: young person to help us rake leaves. We'll pay $9/hour, and will need help this coming Saturday afternoon...
Part of ValleyNet's mission is to encourage community engagement using the Internet, and we'd like to help the residents of your community or neighborhood stay in touch with each other on a personal basis. ValleyNet offers email discussion lists for local communities, neighborhoods, and even apartment buildings. These email lists allow members of a community to post and respond to messages about local governmental issues, questions for the school board, recycling announcements, even questions about lost or found pets. When you subscribe to your local list, you begin to receive (via email) messages that are posted, or you can view them on the web. It's a great way to keep up with what's happening in your town or neighborhood, and ValleyNet makes it easy to set up and use. We want to make these available to everyone; you needn't be a member of ValleyNet to suggest or subscribe to a list. All we require is at least one "champion" in your community to moderate the list, but more than one person can share this duty. The local "champions" will help ValleyNet let people know about the new community lists, and will help local residents to get signed up and to get the most from the service. If you are interested in helping to develop a community email discussion list for your town, neighborhood, or even apartment building or condo, contact valleynet.administration@valley.net.
