We are growing--16 strong!

[Nancy Smyth]

I want to welcome everyone who has joined the group in the past few
days--there are 16 of us here now. I know this will be a busy week for
people as many prepare to leave for APM. Feel free to introduce
yourself here if you have time now. However, I'll be prompting us all
for introductions after APM; I'm assuming we will still get some more
members in the next couple of weeks so I thought that might be a good
time to do it.

Please be aware that you can use this group two ways: you can just
relate to it as a listserv: send and receive messages from your email.
But you can also look at the group on the web at:
http://groups.google.com/group/nadd-trauma-disaster/ This will allow
you to view the discussions in a format similar to a bulletin board
(with threads by subject). We also have a document collaboration/
sharing area via Google Docs. I've put some information about it on
our web home page, but I will send out much more detailed information
on it later this month.

For those who are more technology adventurous, feel free to edit the
one page that we have or to add pages (viewable under pages when you
got to our web home address). However, Google is disabling this
function in November and encouraging groups to use Google Sites, so we
will be moving this content into that format soon.

Best,

Nancy
