Hi everyone- the Hyattsville HOPE group recently migrated to groups.io as did a professional group I’m a part of. It’s very easy to navigate platform and I would recommend that we try it out for Towntalk.<div>If someone sets up the account before The current host shuts down, you could send out a link to the current membership so they could enroll in the new platform if they wish . If you want my help setting it up I’m happy to offer it. It won’t take more than 20 minutes.</div><div>Kathy <br><br><a href="https://overview.mail.yahoo.com/?.src=iOS">Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone</a><br><br><p class="yahoo-quoted-begin" style="font-size: 15px; color: #715FFA; padding-top: 15px; margin-top: 0">On Wednesday, January 8, 2020, 7:00 AM, towntalk-request@riverdale-park.org wrote:</p><blockquote class="iosymail"><div dir="ltr">Send TownTalk mailing list submissions to<br></div><div dir="ltr"> <a ymailto="mailto:towntalk@riverdale-park.org" href="mailto:towntalk@riverdale-park.org">towntalk@riverdale-park.org</a><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit<br></div><div dir="ltr"> <a href="http://riverdale-park.org/mailman/listinfo/towntalk" target="_blank">http://riverdale-park.org/mailman/listinfo/towntalk</a><br></div><div dir="ltr">or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to<br></div><div dir="ltr"> <a ymailto="mailto:towntalk-request@riverdale-park.org" href="mailto:towntalk-request@riverdale-park.org">towntalk-request@riverdale-park.org</a><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">You can reach the person managing the list at<br></div><div dir="ltr"> <a ymailto="mailto:towntalk-owner@riverdale-park.org" href="mailto:towntalk-owner@riverdale-park.org">towntalk-owner@riverdale-park.org</a><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific<br></div><div dir="ltr">than "Re: Contents of TownTalk digest..."<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Today's Topics:<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"> 1.
