Subscribe to this list by using the membership form on the website, www.cherryhillna.org, membership form . and the moderator will add you to the list. We would like to have everyone in the neighborhood subscribed to this list so that we can keep everyone informed about important events.
You can unsubscribe from this list at any time by sending an email to majordomo@cherryhillna.org from the address you wish unsubscribed with “unsubscribe members” in the body of the email. This will unsubscribe the email address that you mailed from.
