Getting Information Out
We try to report club news in several ways. Those whose e-mail addresses are in University and/or club files are our best-informed alumni, friends, and fans. The weekly issue of e-TrueBlue, which is disseminated by AAUM to all e-mailing members on Tuesdays usually has at least one item from our club.

We have a "listserv" set up with all currently known alumni e-mail addresses in our assigned area, which consists of Hillsdale County and western Lenawee. Club secretary Terri Addison uses the listserv to send out club news several times a year. If you receive an e-mail from UMHillsdaleClub@umich.edu, that is from our group. If you would like to be added to this e-mailing list, simply write to taddsn@umich.edu and you will be added. Of course, there is an opt-out note at the end of each message; therefore, if you get tired of hearing from us, you can end the service.
