Montreat Minute 3/1/24
Introducing the Montreat Community Email Listserv!
Come join the newly formed Montreat Community Email Listserv, a private community email group open only to Montreat property owners and residents. It is being offered as a convenient and fun way to connect with fellow Montreaters for conversation, to share information and resources, to request help or advice, to notify about local events and activities, and to contribute to a sense of Montreat community.
The Montreat Community Email Listserv is being sponsored by a small group of resident volunteers, working with Town government, who want to communicate with one another but are tired of other listservs that are outside of our community and don’t have much to do with us as well as other listservs that seem to rant and rave about everything.
Unlike other listservs, the Montreat Listserv will be an inviting and helpful way to communicate. Therefore, we’ve created a few suggested guidelines to follow, including:
- Be kind and respectful
- Be constructive and courteous in both tone and content
- No posts on politics or religion
- No complaining or venting about your neighbors or community government matters
Posts not in keeping with these guidelines will be deleted and repeat offenders will be removed from the list.
Examples of the kinds of posts likely to be seen:
“Does anyone know a really good electrician/plumber/house painter?”
“I am looking for a walking partner for early mornings…any takers?”
“Hi neighbors, I am dividing my 8 Hostas, if anyone wants one, drop me an email.”
“What’s the funniest or weirdest thing that ever happened to you in Montreat?”
“Does anyone have a trustworthy pet sitter that comes and stays in the home?”
“We are going to be out of the country for the month of June, if any of you have friends or family who might like to rent our 3 bedroom/2 bathroom house, let me know.”
“Looking to put together a small bridge group/nonfiction book club…if you are interested, email me.”
“I need a babysitter for the grandkids for next weekend…anyone have a good one?”
