Broadcast Email

SARA Broadcast Email list is a fast and easy way to get the latest news and updates from  the SARA Staff.  This helps the staff by only having to send one Email to reach all the members, it also helps staff members not miss any members when sending information to the members.  It is hard job to keep a up to date list of member's email addresses and changes of Email addresses, this is a simple automated system that will aid the staff to manage this list.   There is a link on the side bar Broadcast Email with instructions, signup today don't miss those important Emails.  You must sign up for Broadcast Email, your membership in SARA doesn't automatically put you on the Broadcast Email list.
