Let’s Talk

Can We Talk?!

With Griffon lovers spread far and wide across the country and around the world, the internet is usually the most effective way for us to communicate with each other!

AWPGA is happy to provide several special interest forums for you to ask questions, share information, do group e-mail distribution (“lists”), post announcements, share pictures, files, and calendars, host databases, or just share a private chat room with other Griffon fanciers.  Some of these forums are open to everyone, some are for AWPGA members only or for special AWPGA teams and groups who are working together on a project.  Special permission can be granted for visitors to that site, upon request to that Yahoo! Group’s moderator. You can choose to receive posts either individually, in digest form, or just viewable on the web when it’s convenient for you.  Email addresses are protected, and not publicly available. We encourage you to grab a cup of coffee and come chat with us in one of our Yahoo! Groups.

Absolutely NO commercial advertising, spamming, off-topic, rude, or unsportsmanlike behavior, nor collection and distribution of email addresses is allowed on any AWPGA eGroup. Inappropriate material or those causing problems will be moderated or removed from further access. Period.
