DRGW Yahoo Group (List) move to Groups.io - The moderator team for the DRGW Yahoo list has made the decision to move the list from Yahoo Groups to Groups.io with the help of the RGM&HS we are in the process of transferring the list from Yahoo Groups.   It been a great opportunity to work with the DRGW moderator team on a joint project we think will benefit all Rio Grande fans..  When the transfer is complete the current DRGW Yahoo List members will receive an invitation to the new location to Groups.io.

The hope is the DRGW Groups.io list will again become the "unofficial list" open to anyone to talk about anything Rio Grande. Conversation threads regarding RGMHS Society activities should still be discussed on the RGMHS group The "official" RGMHS Yahoo List for paid members of the RGM&HS.  The RGMHS list is planned to transfer over as well from Yahoo Groups later this summer.
