There are two email lists for Syracuse Swing Dance Society. The first one (SSDS) allows subscribers to post messages as well as receive them. Dance instructors and event organizers regularly post messages. The traffic volume is about 5-10 messages per week. The second one (SSDS-ANN) is for those who only want a weekly schedule of events emailed to them, and not much else. Here is how you subscribe to those lists.

1. Click on the command. Most browsers will bring out a mail window with the command already typed-in. (If this doesn't happen for you, please initiate an email to listserv@listserv.syr.edu, and complete the instructions for the appropriate list manually.)
2. Replace the generic phrase 'Put Your Name Here' with your name when subscribing.
3. Send the email.
4. Confirm your command by following the instructions in the email you will get from the server. This step is for user authentication.
