Lists
Lists give members the opportunity to ask questions and share information. With all these lists, you need to make sure that you are sending the subscribe mails from the computer you wish the mail sent to.
Sweet Adelines Australia
This list is based in Australia, although there are a few international members. Membership is open, and the email levels are sporadic, but usually only a few per week. To subscribe, send a blank email to ausadelines-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
SING
Sing, or SweetAdelinesInt is an international list, with membership being mostly SAI members. It has about 30 mails per day on average, and is an absolute goldmine of information.
