*********** *********** *********** FROG MEMBERS: FROG now has over 1600 members!! Ooh lah lah. Anyone can be a FROG member. There is no charge. When you're a FROG member, that means that your email address is on the FROG list and so you receive an email every Friday listing upcoming activities. No one else ever sees your email address, I promise (unless you list it in an activity). Or, just check this website any time you wish. This website and the Friday emails list identical activities. Actually, this web is better because I can more easily link things (AND, this website has cool little pictures!).

GETTING ON FROG:
If you (or your friend) wants to be a FROG member,
I need your full name in order to add you to the FROG list.
You don't have to give your real name,
but you DO have to remember which name you give,
so if at a later date you wish to revise your email
to an updated address or be taken off the FROG list,
I'll know how to find you (I alphabatize by last name).
Once I receive your name and email address,
you'll receive FROG the following Friday.
Absolutely no one other than myself gets your email address. I promise.

STAYING ON FROG:
In order to stay on the FROG list,
remember to notify me of any change in your email address.
If you haven't gotten a FROG in a while for any reason,
contact me and I'll be happy to put you back on the list.
A lot of servers may read me as SPAM
since I'm sending FROG out to over 1000 folks.

SUBMITTING AN ACTIVITY
Anyone can submit or coordinate an activity.
Think of an activity, select a date,
write a small paragraph about it (limit 200 words),
and send it to me.
Please do not send me anything to extract from a website.
There is no cost and no paperwork. Yay!
Deadline is Wednesday at noon.
Limit 3 activities per person/club per week.

DON'T SUBMIT LENGTHY ENTRIES:
Submit a small paragraph. Did I say small?
There is a 200-word limit, tho believe me,
I'm not going to count the words
unless I can tell at a glance that your activity is too long.
I had to put a number here
because some people are submitting novels.
If you submit a whole page or two,
I'll send it back to you for editing.

ATTACHMENTS:
Please don't send attachments.
Please send your entries in text format.
I have a Macintosh and run into several mac/PC incompatibilities.
Also, if I continue to open many attachments week after week,
I run a high risk of getting a virus.
Thank you for understanding.

ADVERTISING:
Effective July 1, 2003, FROG no longer lists ads
(Roommates, Townhomes for Sale, Boats for Sale, etc.)
or anything that promotes a business or a club for free.
Ads will cost $5/month for individuals ("boat for sale"),
$10/month for businesses ("Come to my restaurant")
(come to our Singles Dance hosted by our club, $10 at the door).
FROG will continue to list all free activities and public interest items for free.
CLICK HERE for details on what is and what is not advertising.

OTHER CLUBS:
Bear in mind that FROG is not affiliated with or governed by
any other club and remains open to all.
Information and discounts on other clubs are certainly welcome,
but FROG remains neutral.
There are a growing number of FROG members
who belong to no other clubs,
so please be sensitive to that.
When you write "$5 discount for members",
please specify which club member you mean.
If you do not specify which club,
I will assume you mean
the discount applies to FROG members.

CONTACT PERSON:
