The Neighborhood of Hilltop Jersey City, New Jersey

HNA Online Discussion Forum / Email List

The Hilltop Neighborhood Association maintains a members-only online discussion forum for area residents. This forum is a Yahoo Group, sometimes referred to as an e-group. It is essentially an email distribution list but offers additional features and benefits because it is an interactive forum where you may participate in email discussions. HNA members use this group/forum to:

post notices about upcoming meetings
address/discuss neighborhood issues
present questions to the community (e.g., asking for recommendations for a good plumber or asking if anyone wants to start a book club)
post neighborhood security watch information (e.g., if suspicious vehicles have been spotted in the area)

Joining the Forum

To join the forum, send an email to hilltopneighborhood-subscribe@yahoogroups.com and include your name and your street. Your address information will be kept private, but since this is a discussion forum only for area residents, your residency must be confirmed by one of the forum moderators before you may join.

No Fee, No Spam

There is no fee to join or belong to the forum, and you do not have to have a Yahoo email address.

The forum is a NO-SPAM list. Only emails which are related to HNA issues will be approved, posted and distributed to members. Several HNA members function as moderators of the forum.

Advantages of the Forum

The HNA encourages you to join and participate in the online discussions. Advantages of the forum:

It allows the membership to interact and communicate more frequently than just the once-a-month meetings.
It allows for quick dissemination of information.
Because it is an interactive venue, it eliminates the one-way channel of communication where only one person sends out emails to all others in the group. The forum allows any member to post a message to share with others.
It lets you stay up to date on the issues if you miss a meeting.
Electronic versions of the newsletters and other documents can be distributed via the forum. Over time, more people on the forum means that the HNA can reduce the number of paper newsletters and flyers they distribute, which helps save money, paper and trees!

Use any address you like

Note that to receive HNA emails from the forum, you do not need a Yahoo ID or email address. But if you wish to view items stored in the Files and Database sections of the forum (meeting minutes, archived newsletters, etc.), or if you wish to participate in online polls or view the online calendar, you will need a Yahoo ID.

Even after setting up a Yahoo ID for viewing the archived files, polls, calendar, etc., note that you may still use any email address you wish for delivery of HNA emails. See Using the Yahoo Forum for more information.
