The FWAS E-Group is an electronic mailing list just for club members. Once you subscribe to the list you can send messages to all the other club members who are subscribed. The e-group is how club members receive important club news such as meeting location changes. The e-group is also how Prime Focus, the club’s electronic newsletter, is sent to members.

Ask for details on how to access the e-group once you become a member.
