Esplanade Community ListServ Now Set Up for All Our Residents

The Esplanade Community Group (ECG) is pleased to announce that we have started a ListServ for the benefit of everyone who lives at the Esplanade and chooses to participate. 

What is a ListServ?

  • A listserv is a single email address through which members of the listserv can communicate. Our ListServ email address is EsplanadeCommunity@emaildodo.com

  • The ListServ is similar to a dedicated email address at work where everyone at the workplace can communicate with everyone else at that particular workplace and with no outsider having any access whatsoever.  Residents and owners will be able to access our ListServ from wherever they get their emails: cellphone, computer, or tablet.

How do I sign up?

Email us through Jessie von Hippel at jvhippel@me.com and tell us you want to participate and give us the email address that you want us to include in our ListServ. (Include your mobile telephone number if you want to access the ListServ on your mobile, otherwise not required.) Guidelines will be included in your signup.

What are the benefits of our ListServ?

Our ListServ is an easy way for residents and owners in the Esplanade to communicate, get quick answers to their questions, and share information. Usually, the communication starts in the form of a question. Here are some examples:

  • Can anyone recommend a new, good restaurant nearby?

  • I can’t use my two tickets for Symphony tomorrow night. They are $120 each. Does anyone want to purchase them?

  • Can anyone recommend a chiropractor for my back nearby?

  •  I have a CD player that I no longer use. It is in perfect condition. I will give it to whomever might want it.

  • Anyone want to join me on a walk tomorrow afternoon?

  • Can anyone recommend a good place to purchase a modern chandelier?

  • Can anyone recommend a plumber?

  • Has anyone seen Atticus, the Mute Swan Dad, lately?

  • How can I find out plans for Triangle Park across the street?

  • Is there a good lecture or exhibit I can explore this weekend?

Questions such the ones above are communicated to everyone on the ListServ by one email. It is such a great way to ask your neighbors for advice or respond with one sentence and one click.

Does everyone have to participate?

No.  Participation is voluntary. You have to sign up to participate. If you don’t sign up, you won’t be part of the ListServ and you will not get emails through the ListServ.

What will it cost to participate?

The participants will not have to pay anything. The ECG will pay a small fee to set up and maintain the ListServ.

How do I ensure that I will receive ListServ communications?

Just add ListServ to your Contact list with its email EsplanadeCommunity@emaildodo.com

How do I send an inquiry, suggestion, or note to fellow ListServ members?

Just type in ListServ from your Contact list in the “To” line on your email and that should work.

What if decide I no longer want to participate after joining?

All you have to do is click “unsubscribe” and that will end your participation in the ListServ and you will no longer receive its emails.  

Thank you for your interest. Please let us know of any questions or concerns.
