• Yahoo Group: gsnasa

  This group is comprised of members of a training taken at Macy concerning Global Climate Change. Here is a message to Betsy inviting us to join their group:

  "This is great! I hope you'll share some of the things you learned! In order to access the files each person needs a yahoo id. It's as simple as registering at yahoo. You can get a yahoo id from the yahoogroups page. Go to http://groups.yahoo.com/ There are several places on the page (left and right) to register. After you register search for "gsnasa" in the search box and it will bring up a listing of our group. Click on the link and it will take you to the page to register for the group. Once they register it will ask me to confirm the new members. After I confirm that's all there is to it! They can reach all the files and bookmarks that have been posted as well as communicate with the group. Have a great time! I know I loved it there!"
