E-Mail List Servers

KCC has set up the following e-mail listservs (list servers) to facilitate sangha communications. A listserv is basically an Internet e-mail address that forwards any e-mail sent to it, to a predefined list of other Internet e-mail addresses. So by sending an e-mail to a listserv such as community@kcc.org, you will actually be sending an e-mail to everyone who is on the list.

  1. Announce@kcc.org

    The Announce listserv is a venue in which KCC announces events, retreats, teachings and other center-related activities. It is not a "chat" listserv. Only authorized people at KCC can post announcements. To subscribe to Announce, send an e-mail to announce-on@kcc.org from the e-mail address where you want to receive the announcements.

    In addition, we also announce events not directly sponsored by us but which are of significance for our practice. These include visits by major lineage holders such as Bokar Rinpoche and Thrangu Rinpoche, teachings and empowerments given by Lama Tsang Tsing in Eugene, and Tibetan language workshops. By restricting use of the server in this way, we hope to spare you from unwanted "spam".

  2. Community@kcc.org

    The Community listserv is a forum for KCC sangha members to share information, both dharma-related and not-so-dharma-related; learn about KCC volunteer opportunities; share recipes; announce illnesses and deaths; express thank-you's, etc. Anyone who is subscribed to Community can post messages to the Community listserv. To subscribe to Community send an e-mail to community-on@kcc.org from the e-mail address where you want to receive the mail.

  3. Board@kcc.org

    KCC has established this listserv as an experiment to allow an open format of communication as the board of directors goes about conducting its business. This communication will also be helpful for committee members, especially coordinators, who are encouraged to participate when topics relate to the work they are doing on their committee.

Listserv Etiquette

Be mindful of how many people you are communicating with when using a listserv.

When replying or forwarding an e-mail from a listserv, please check the people addressed in the To: and CC: fields to make sure your e-mail reaches only the people you intend to read it. Replies will go back only to the originator of the e-mail sent to you. Use "Reply to All" if you want your response to go to the sender and everyone else subscribed to the listserv.
