Now that you have come to this new site, we would like you to follow the directions in the getting started section. There are communities set up for all chapters and committees as well as Pianotech and CAUT. Once you are logged in click the link for Notifications in the Getting started section. This gives you preferences to have the discussions come to you as email. Discussions are available to you here in this forum format. If you want emails from the groups go to Notifications and click Real Time, Daily Digest, or PDA to get emails.
For a big group like Pianotech it might be most convenient to just come check the group here. For a group like a chapter you will probably want to have emails so notifications will come to you.
Have fun.
