E-mail Group has two main
purposes:
1.)
To offer a
forum in which providers can easily communicate with one another by
posting questions about local services, grants information and other funding
opportunities, program openings, and additional items of common interest.
2.)
To give
providers an opportunity to collaborate and coordinate across agencies
and organizations through increased communication.
Are you having trouble
finding transportation or a translator for a client? Do you want to share your
organization’s newsletter or information about a grant opportunity,
parenting workshop or training seminar? Do you need supplies or have surplus items to donate?
The Community
Connect
ions E-mail Group (or “
Connect
” for short) offers an opportunity to
post this information and much more. Anytime you have a question or announcement, all you have to do is
send an e-mail to connect@browncountyunitedway.org and this message will be routed to an entire community of your colleagues
within the day.
The e-mail group exists as
a service to you. It is a work in
progress, so please do not hesitate to share your ideas and comments. Also feel free to invite others to
join by sending a request to connect@browncountyunitedway.org;
the more people who sign up and become active participants, the more
effective and informative it will be.
Thank you for all that you
do to improve the quality of life for everyone in

- Please remember to include
your name and contact information in the text of all messages you send
to make it easy for colleagues to get in touch with you.
- connect@browncountyunitedway.org will appear in your e-mail inbox as the “sender” of all
messages to and from the e-mail group. “Community
Connect
ions” will appear in the subject
line.
Connect
notices are sent out on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays each week,
except on the days when there are no messages. Postings sent by
4pm the day prior to Monday, Wednesday, and Friday’s will be featured
the following day.
- Your e-mail address will not
be shared with other organizations. The e-mail group list will not be visible when messages are
posted to the larger audience.
- You may unsubscribe at any
time; send a request to connect@browncountyunitedway.org. Please include the word

brief as possible and do not include graphics. Messages cannot be
“held” into the future to be posted at a later date.
Send your announcement the day before you would like it to be

for instance, you would like to publicize an event several weeks in
advance and then send reminders.
- Please do not send attachments
and instead state the information you wish to share in the text of
your e-mail message. Many e-mail group members are not able to receive
attachments at their workplaces. If you have an attachment that
you need to publicize, such as a calendar or flyer, we could potentially
post it on

website, or you could suggest that people contact you to obtain a copy.

opportunities with clients. Such information will always be
