Email list guidelines
The Unitarian Universalist Community church office keeps an email list of members and friends who have made their email addresses available. While email lists make available a valuable tool for communication and community building, the ease of use makes it easy to overuse. The church email list should provide important and timely congregational information to our members and friends. The list should not be used for communications of limited or with such frequency that members and friends stop reading it.
The following are proposed guidelines that are suggested to keep the use of the UUCC email list effective and appropriate:
- The UUCC email list is to be used for communicating congregational announcements or events of general interest to the congregation.
- In most instances, the email list is not to be used for District, UUC or community announcements of limited interest.
- the UUCC email list is not an appropriate venue for personal announcements, personal appeals, personal reflections or editorials.
- In most instances, the email list should not be used for appeals for money or fundraising, except at the direction of the board.
- Members and friends are encouraged to make appropriate uses of the many avenues of communication in the congregation, including the newsletter, the website, bulletin boards and weekly order of service announcements, and to reserve the church email list for the timely announcements of general interest to which the list is best suited.
- The church email list will not be given to individuals or organizations for non-church use.
