Since 2007, the CA-NV Chapter has offered a service called E-News to the CA-NV area OCTA members. The chapter electronically sends emails of historic interest, chapter and OCTA messages and updates, using online Googlegroups. The use of Googlegroups is to sidestep many Internet servers’ policies of not allowing large group mailings from, and/or to, private email accounts in order to help stem the tide of dreaded spam. Also, Googlegroups allows for more privacy, which is becoming more of a problem in this day and age.

If you are a member of OCTA and would like to subscribe to this service, or live in the CA-NV area and have not been receiving E-News messages since May 1, 2007, you may contact Dee Owens at dgowens@comcast.net and she will add you to the E-News list.

Also, OCTA National has a similar service for organization-wide information, and you may sign up for that by contacting OCTA, Travis Boley at OCTA-Trails.org.
