The dialogue on the Alum Rock Neighborhood Network E-list (ARNNE) is intended to be similar to neighbors having a discussion over the backyard fence. It is a way of broadcasting news or inquiries to other members of the community. There are current neighborhoods within the Alum Rock community that are organized (i.e. Highlands, Warner Heights, Fleming Avenue) and have ways to communicate with each other. This e-list is meant to respect the diversity of our neighborhoods and the existing groups while creating unity among us. Please use ARNNE to send announcements and have discussions about the issues of the day you think are important. Here are examples of ARNNE's many uses - announce garage sales, lost dogs/cats, business openings/closing, public meetings, candidate forums, neighborhood recommendations, etc. *Specifically not allowed on ARNNE are commercial solicitation or political campaigning: no selling telephone time or investment opportunities, and no soliciting of campaign contributions or volunteers. This does not, however, exclude localized personal posts such as yard sales, a great kid's lemonade stand that has popped up, or responses to requests for information about products or contractor recommendations. It is okay to occasionally announce items for sale, provided: (1): it is not a commercial business (e.g., okay to sell your own car, but not for a car-dealer to do so); (2) be short and sweet: invite interested parties to contact you for more details; (3) include the words "FOR SALE" in the subject line. It is also okay to announce candidate forums, but not okay to promote an event on behalf of a single candidate.* This E-LIST was borne out of the demise of the New Neighborhood Voice newsletter (RIP: November 2006) and the wish to continue the communication within our Alum Rock community.
