Emails, sent as communication to Calgary Authors' members, may involve the group, part of the group, or a single individual. DISCRETION IS KEY. Please do NOT send broadcast emails to the group when your communication concerns only one or a few individuals.

If you are sending a broadcast email to all or many members, please use the BCC (blind carbon copy) function on your email server. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
