By now, many of you are already utilizing Google Groups but if you are learning a new tour you will be receiving an email invite with a link to join that new google group. Here are some tips and steps to get started with any new google groups.
When you receive the email invite from google groups please follow the registration steps in the email.

day. You can change your e-mail delivery preferences by doing the following:
1. From your Google Groups homepage (groups.google.com), click on the My groups button.
2. In the drop-down menu to the right of the group name, select from one the following e-mail delivery

email); or Notify me for every new message.
These tips will always be kept on the bridge in Files & Documents and in the folder “Volunteer Matters and The Bridge Manuals”.
