We’ve had some questions about getting onto the neighborhood listserve. It is a two-step process.

1.  You must become a member of the association and pay your $10 dues. You can do this in two ways.

• a. Join online at http://bhna.net/membership.html You can use the paypal link on the right-hand side. If you don’t have a paypal account, it’s pretty easy to set one up.
• b. Join by mail at http://bhna.net/form.html Print out the form and send it to the address on the form. There is a place to check whether or not you want to join the listserve on this form. If you check the box, you will be added automatically.

2. Once you are a member (remember this listserve is a privilege of membership.) Visit http://bhna.net/listserver.html and click on the link that says barton_hills-subscribe@yahoogroups.com to send a message to our membership coordinator/Vice President Penley McQueen. He will approve listserve ownership after verifying that you are a member.

You can also renew at the next neighborhood meeting, which is on January 26th at 7 p.m. or by cutting out the form that is in every newsletter and distributed to 1200 households in our neighborhood every quarter and mailing it to the address on the form.

If you have applied and would like to join but still haven’t heard anything, you can let Penley McQueen penley_mcqueen@yahoo.com know. But please be patient. We are a completely volunteer-run organization.

Speaking of which, MEMBERSHIPS ARE DUE. They renew annually in January. Although the crime is terrible, it is nice to see a little uptick in membership because of it.  One of the association’s big goals this year is to increase membership in the association and the number of people on the listserve.

Warmly,
