+====Plans for the switch====
+We discussed and decided that for at least the short term, we would take me (Steve Isenberg) up on my offer to host the email list as part of my Dreamhost ISP account.\\
+CharlyS is checking on what it would take for the group to get a 501c3; once we have this, then Dreamhost will give us a free account, and it's likely that groups.io would as well.\\
+QUESTION: Does Lexington Community Center have a 501c3?  If so could we use its 501c3 to get a free account at one of these?

 This seems to be clean and nice, but I'm wondering what problem we're trying to solve. Are there things that bother you about our current Yahoo pages? The things that bother me are that Yahoo no longer automatically generates meeting notices from the calendar (and sometimes blocks access to it). Right now, I keep our Yahoo home page (at https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/LexingtonComputerGroup/management/settings) pretty much up to date. I stopped keeping our calendar (at https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/LexingtonComputerGroup/events) up to date a few months after it stopped generating meeting notices. I also manually generate meeting notices using the general format of the previously automatically generated notices. Do we need more or different? Is there a calendar facility that will allow automatic notice generation?
