MPRO uses archived email lists to distribute concert and workshop information pertaining to recorders and early music. There are currently 3 lists:
The mpro-interest list is a moderated announcement/publicity list which is open for all to join. It is meant to alert early music enthusiasts to upcomming concerts and workshops.
The mpro-members list is for current participating and associate MPRO members to communicate together for orchestra announcements, sharing interesting posts, etc.
The mpro-board list is for current MPRO board members to communicate on MPRO board matters.
It is an interactive discussion group that allows members to exchange emails, like a mailing list. But it also provides an online chat facility, a place to upload files of general interest to the members, and many other features that will help improve communications between MPRO members. In addition, the MPRO-members eGroup is a private group -- only members of the MPRO are allowed to join, and only members of the MPRO eGroup can view the messages and the membership list.
Do you need to arrange a carpool to rehersals or the next MPRO concert? Do you want to ask someone what the heck Fred meant by "te dl dee dl" at the last rehersal? Well, the MPRO-members eGroup is the place to ask and answer these kinds of things.
To join one of the MPRO eGroups, simply enter your email in the registration form to the MPRO. The MPRO Membership board member is also the eGroup moderator and will add you to the corresponding MPRO eGroup (if you choose to join MPRO as a participating or associate member, then you will be added to the mpro-members egroup as well). You should receive an email message once you have been added to the eGroup. The MPRO-members eGroup membership is a benefit of paid associate or participating membership in the MPRO – take advantage of it!

MPRO-Interest eGroup
The MPRO-Interest@GoogleGroups.com eGroup has been set up for online email distribution of general publicity items such as concerts and workshops.
This list is for those interested in MPRO and other local recorder events. The list is moderated by Christopher Flake so only approved emails are distributed - thus reducing duplication and stopping spam.
Anyone in the group may post emails to the list, but only publicity items of interest to MPRO and our audience will be allowed.
Your email is kept private to all unless you submit an email for distribution.
Attention non-MPRO members with Publicity Announcements :
This is the email group that you should send your concert, workshop, and other recorder-related announcements to.
As long as it is deemed appropriate and of general interest to MPRO members, the moderator will approve your email and it will be distributed to MPRO members.
Simply send your announcement to
MPRO-Interest@GoogleGroups.com
and it will be passed on to the MPRO membership by the group moderator.
