I think it would be a real loss if TownTalk were to shut down altogether. That being said, it could also be much more useful, interesting, and relevant if more people subscribed and contributed. We have a lot of new residents in town, but I don't know how many of them have subscribed, or are even aware of TownTalk.<br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, Jan 4, 2020 at 12:52 PM Alan Thompson <<a href="mailto:akthompson@riverdaleparkmd.gov">akthompson@riverdaleparkmd.gov</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<div dir="ltr">Greetings,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I received notice last night that the hosting service on which the town's email lists (RP TownTalk and RP TownAnnounce) operate will be ceasing operations effective January 10 (next Friday).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Because of the timing, I haven't had a chance to discuss options with town staff. Whatever we do, there is almost certainly going to be a gap in service (and one question is whether, in the age of social media, we should continue to run the email lists
at all).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'll keep you informed as we make progress. Please let me know if you have ideas or thoughts on the path forward.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best regards,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
