The Nittany Valley Running
Club has started up a Yahoo! Discussion Group. The group name is NVRC.
You can access the group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NVRC/.
We encourage Club Members who are active runners to join. We also
encourage
others who are not members of the Nittany Valley Running Club, but who
are
interested in running in Central Pennsyvania to join the group.
The Yahoo Discussion
Groups are easy to sign up for. Just go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NVRC/
and click "Join This Group". If you are already a Yahoo! member,
a request will be sent to the group moderators (Jim Taylor and Marty
Mazur) to add you to the NVRC group. As soon as you are approved you
will be able to join the fun. If you are not yet a Yahoo! member, you
have to join. It's pretty much like getting any other internet service
like Hotmail, etc. It's free. You answer a few questions and you're in.
Then you send a request to join the NVRC group and you can join the fun.
Yahoo! Discussion Groups
allow you to tailor your access to the group (and the group's access to
you!). You can read or post messages via the group web page or by
email. You can have the group email delivered to you immediately, or in
daily summaries. You can post a detailed profile of yourself, including
pictures, quotations, web links, etc., or you can remain anonymous.
Once you are in, you can explore all the options.
The
Yahoo!
Group is intended to replace the old Discussion Forum that lay unused
at
the Club web site with a much better communication tool that will be
available
to anyone who wants to exchange information about running in Central
Pennsylvania. The Yahoo Group also supplanted the NVRUN-L email list
as of September 1, 2003. Join the NVRC Discussion Group!
For those of you who want
to know why we switched over to Yahoo! from the old email listserv, here is your answer.
