Your Choices about Your Information:

​

We utilize G-mail for our emails. Our emails are limited to groups of 100. We currently have A, B, and C groups. We also have 3 special groups: Limited, Private TGA, and Private Mayo. When you sign-up you are assigned a sequential number along with your first name. We ask for last names and US state or international country for duplicate first names and for our community map. At anytime you may request to move from a public group to a Limited or Private group. Limited only receives a monthly message. A, B, & C groups are public groups generally sent as BBC Blind Copy messages. Private is individual emails with just one recipient after the other groups are sent their messages. So private messages may be several days behind.
