SKPing SOLOS Yahoo Group Bulletin Board
There's a Yahoo Group created exclusively for communication among members of Escapees SOLOS. This list is unpublished and can be accessed only by moderated subscription, to prevent spammers and to ensure all who join meet the list criteria of being current dues-paid members of the C-BOF. The purpose of this list is narrowly focused for announcing rallies and other gatherings, sharing experiences, reporting travel plans and any other RV-related matters of interest to members.

To request membership, first establish a Yahoo ID on the Internet. Signing up for a Yahoo account is free and pretty easy - just go to groups.yahoo.com and follow the screen prompts. PocketMail users may subscribe to the list; however, they must first use a computer to access the Internet (use a friend's computer, go to a library, etc.) to establish a Yahoo ID.

Then send an e-mail message making sure to include Your Name and SKP# to: skpingsolos-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
If you do not include Your Name and SKP#, you will be asked to supply them and this will delay your joining. If you are not a member of Escapees SOLOS, you will be asked to join. Otherwise, you will receive a response to confirm that you are subscribed, then you will begin receiving email messages posted to the bulletin board.
