Volunteering at the ARC
Are you interested in becoming more active as a club member, but perhaps do not know how to go about doing that? There are many ways to get involved at the Austin Rifle Club!
NEW: If you are looking for ways to contribute at ARC check out our 'Volunteer Opportunities' section in the Registered User's area of our web site. If you are a club member and do not have an ID for our web site click here to self-register for one.
The new 'Volunteer Opportunities' section is the place to go to see ongoing projects here at ARC, projects seeking additional helpers, positions available at the club, and just about anything else related to people being needed to help out. You can click a button to send questions to the Project Coordinator, or click a button to say, "I Volunteer".
Go ahead. Logon, check out 'Volunteer Opportunities', and volunteer for something! The club needs your help.
There is always a way to get involved if you have the desire. You can make a difference, and play a part in making the Austin Rifle Club a better place for future generations. There is more to ARC than just putting holes in paper!

ARC Subscription Email Lists
A well hidden feature here on the ARC web site is our subscription email lists. Our email lists are provided as ways to stay informed on a few areas of interest here at the Austin Rifle Club. They are all spam free because you have to be a member of the list to send messages to it. All of the lists are double-opt-in (have to be approved by an administrator and confirmed by the member), and several of them are information-only broadcast type lists which do not allow members to send mail.
For instance we have a Volunteers list which you sign up for if you want to receive emails when ARC has the need for volunteers to help with a project. Signing up doesn't commit you to anything but you will receive requests for help from time to time along with all the others in the list. However, only the ARC Volunteer Coordinator is authorized to send a broadcast message to this list.
If this sounds interesting then click on "ARC Subscription Mail Lists" located in the News and Information menu on the left and see if there is a list you might be interested in. It's one of the best ways we have to keep you informed.
A note of caution though: we do have a limit on how much mail we can send from our server, so please do not join a list if you do not really plan to participate. Thank you.

How to Reach the Board of Directors
In the past we have always had an email list address you could send mail to to reach the ARC Board of Directors. This has proved to be a problem however due to the volume of email spam which was being directed at the list. Spam filters are fairly good at diminishing the volume but a lot was still getting through. Worse yet, ISPs were complaining to us because of the quantity of mail being routed through our "open" email lists which permitted outsiders to send mail through our lists. This is the primary reason why all of our email lists are now "list-members-only" including the BOD email list. If a non-list-member sends an email to such a list the message is returned as undeliverable.
But, it is very important for the memebrship to be able to reach all of our board members. To that end we have set up the contact menu on the left side of the web page. Actually, that menu has always been there, but now it is your primary way to send mail to individuals on the BOD. Simply click on the Board of Directors link, then pick the director you wish to communicate with and a form will open allowing you to send messages of any size. You can copy yourself at the same time if you wish so you'll see what the message you sent looks like. We encourage you to feel free to contact any BOD officer if you have the need.
