Our Bright Water email system through YahooGroups is a wonderful tool to keep everyone informed of community events and neighborhood issues and concerns. It's open to all residents who wish to participate. In an effort to keep our email system effective and to encourage as many residents as possible to use it, below are some guidelines that should be considered:

Think of this as our "e-bulletin board" where you are able to post a message just as you would thumb tack a note to a bulletin board.

Use this system to:

1. announce events that include all of Bright Water, such as a neighborhood social event, swim, tennis, a neighborhood garage sale, or an event at your home that is open to the neighborhood
2. invite/recruit new members to your Bright Water team or neighborhood group meeting
3. ask your neighbors for referrals to trusted service providers.
4. list a lost or found item or pet.
5. post something for sale
6. Let others know about concerns or issues that you feel have a direct impact on the safety and well being of all residents. (this would include COPS related items)

Discussion of neighborhood concerns is appropriate, but be reasonable about the amount of discussion on any one point. Please be courteous. By the same token, We don't want anyone to feel that they shouldn't express a negative point of view. If something is really bothering you and you feel it may be helpful to share it with everyone, please feel free to do so!
