  • Announce list - Announcement of meetings, classes, events, possibly votes, and who knows. This list is new as of this writing so i don't know what will be on it, but expect much lower traffic than the other lists. Messages are only sent by the directors.
  • Director's list - Watch the sausage being made! Be privy to every excruciating detail of PS:One business. Members can watch, but please post sparingly.
