Most email should be sent to an appropriate Sagamore group instead of specific people (or at least always CC a group too). Everyone decides how "plugged-in" to a group they want to be: completely ignore, browse past conversations on the web, subscribe to receive weekly or daily digests by email, or subscribe to receive every message. Anyone can email a (non-announcement) group, but messages from non-subscribers are moderated (I can moderate more heavily if need be).


==Creating a new group==
See the [https://groups.google.com/a/sagamorehillspta.org/d/forumsearch Sagamore Hills Elementary Schoo PTA Google Groups for a '''list of current groups''']. The first group was [[Sagamore Hills PTA Google account setup#2014-05-06_22:00_Create_Google_Group_for_Garden|created 2014-05-06 for the garden]],


There are actually [https://support.google.com/a/answer/33343 2 ways to create a group]—we're going to do it through the Groups interface instead of the Admin panel.
