What are my mailing list options

There are three types of mail delivery you can have

a) Individual mails (about 1-15 per day)

b) Daily digest (25 mails combined into one so you only get 1-2 per week)

c) No mail at all, read messages from the web site (great for going on vacation so you don't have to unsubscribe, or come home to a mailbox with 50+ messages)

The simplest way to change your mail or subscription options or to unsubscribe from the group is to go to the main Yahoo "MyGroups" webpage and change them there. Just click the link below to go there now.

Do you people ever meet

Yes indeed we do. From time to time a list member will organize a "family" gathering in their neck of the woods. People from all over attend these get togethers and have a great deal of fun. We also meet every year at the big Lymphoma Research Foundations annual convention. Each year it is in a different city. In 2000 and 2007 it was New York, in 2001 it was Chicago, in 2002 Los Angeles, 2003 Washington DC, 2004 and 2008 San Francisco, 2006 in Atlanta.
