Samish Island Announcements (Samish Info)

This email group is intended for emergency or other important announcements that affect most islanders. The group is moderated, and is not intended as a discussion or opinion group. There are three purposes:

• Share information that is emergent: extreme weather conditions, floods, road conditions, road closures, and other info. Emergent generally means "important for people to know within the next 24-36 hours".

• Share announcements that affect most community members.

• Receive the Shore Lines Newsletter at the beginning of the month, with link to the web page for additional updates during the month.

Once you are a member, you may either post messages that meet the criteria above, or reply to the group with additional information you might have about the topic.

Remember that the group is considered an announcement group, not a discussion group. Discussions, opinions, views, criticisms about these topics may be posted to the Samish Neighbors email group below.

View "How to Sign Up" below. Only island residents, property owners, or neighbors along the road leading to the island may join the email groups.
