Form to Have Your Email Address Changed
This option allows you to request us to change your email address for you. The only reason I've built this is because there's no easy way to do it using MajorCool in the previous step. There is an email option as explained in the next step however.

This option will allow you to enter your departure and return dates. NOTE: This method isn't automatic because you will have to wait until we get around to fulfilling your request.

Browse Email Group Archives
Clicking on the above link will take you to the email group archives. Before you can search them, you have to be added to our secure database. To be approved and added, please send an email to karlp @ ourldsfamily . com. If you belong to one group, you can browse archived emails for any other group. We have written our own search engine, which will make things even more helpful.

Note: Your access to the archives will expire when you unsubscribe from all the groups you are, or have been in. In other words, only current email group members may search the archvies.
