Many neighbors report never receiving electronic communication from the neighborhood. We have attempted to remedy this, but it seems that the service we currently use to manage the College Hill Neighborhood email list has become outdated. To address this, we are migrating to a new email service called Gaggle. We will discontinue use of the existing mailing list on September 30, 2023. Duplicate emails may be possible in the interim. Gaggle is free for the neighborhood association and members and offers many features that may appeal to individual members. Members can access an archive of emails sent, choose to have emails received in a digest format, and change their email address. A benefit for the neighborhood is that messages sent to the email list can be moderated, ensuring that only relevant information is sent and individual conversations are moderated. You will receive a separate email with a link to sign up for our new mailing list with Gaggle. If you are interested in receiving emails regarding College Hill Neighborhood events, meetings, and relevant city updates, please follow the prompts to join our new mailing list. If you are not interested in receiving emails from the College Hill Neighborhood Association, please disregard the invitation. Below is an example of the email invitation.

The group meets the *First Tuesday of every month*! The group previously used to meet on Mondays. If you can't make it, please feel welcome to join our Facebook group online, HHHS Pet Loss Support Group. We are a non-judgmental group of people who know the feelings you are feeling. There is no statute of limitations on grief- please come if it's been a day or 10 years since you lost your pet. Come if your pet passed away, if it got lost and you never got closure, come if you had to rehome or surrender your pet, come no matter the circumstances. Come late if you have to. Leave early if you have to. We're here. You won't find blame, just understanding.
