How to find and use RollingRescue

Here is the url to our RollingRescue "homepage" location at yahoogroups:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rollingrescue  You go there and sign up for
RollingRescue. When you arrive at the "homepage" of a yahoo group you do 
not belong to, it will tell you, in the upper right hand corner, "You do not 
belong to this group." There will be a link, also near the top that says, 
"Join This Group." Use that link and join. If you do not already have a 
"Yahoo Identity" (persona)you will need to register for Yahoo and set up a 
name for yourself.

Very soon after you submit your membership, you will get the
welcome and instructions for posting to rolling rescue. Read them over, make
your post up, supplying all the requested information and using the format
shown there and email it to rollingrescue@egroups.com. About half way down
the directions is a sample form that can actually be copied, pasted into a
new email and filled out, removing a few obviously instructional words as
you go. Some find that helpful.

If you are used to transport lists that have no format and carry on
conversations back and forth on the list, rollingrescue will be different
for you. The welcome and directions explain why we are different. If you
plan to use the same post for many different transport lists, you will want
to probably make up your rollingrescue post first and use it as the one you
send to everyone else. We are adament about concise, organized posts that
provide all the important information needed for someone to know if they can
help or not without emailing back and forth several times. ... and which
also lends itself to being filed and sorted easily to referrence when
someone is on the move and wonders if there is a transport they could help
with.

I would suggest that you set your subscription to either Email or Daily
Digest so that you receive all the posts coming to the list. That allows you
to see any other transports taking place in the same area as yours. And
while a trucker can't take but one or two dogs, you may find another more
traditional relay style transport that you could join forces with.

Then, after you join, you can also click on the link on the homepage called
Database. That will take you to our Directory of Transport Volunteers. Add
your own personal information and note any individuals that are in the area
of your run. You can contact them individually.

All posts are moderated, they will come direct to us before they go to the
board. If a new member needs help fine tuning a post, we will help them do
that. If you get the directions and read them over and have questions before
you post, feel free to email me back.

Thanks,
