Guidelines for the CDPSG (Capital District Parkinson's Support Group) groups.io mail group.

​

This group is restricted to members living in the Albany NY area. 

The purpose of the group is to provide support to Persons with Parkinson's and to announce or discuss local events and resources.

 

• We expect members to post and act responsibly. Please respect your fellow members' time and attention: strive to be clear, concise and courteous. Our subject matter naturally includes matters of opinion; if you happen to disagree with another member please do so without being rude. Personal attacks are not allowed. Solicitations are off topic and will be deleted without comment. Be aware that the bad guys are clever so there's no guarantee that bad messages will not get through to the group; you are encouraged to be vigilant against any and all threats arriving via email. 

• We are always looking for suggestions from our members to make this group better for all. Feel free to address any questions, comments, or concerns directly to the group moderators via email to CDPSG+owner@groups.io.
