Bulletin Board

All of the referrals & classifieds for Berkeley are posted to the Bulletin Board. This way, you can post the referrals and classifieds yourself without waiting for a webmaster. To post a referral, please follow the steps on the right. 
 

What's on the Bulletin Board?

There are 5 categories on the Bulletin Board.  Underneath each category are forums and under each forum are posts. 
  • Berkeley Place – Announcements, Lost & Found, “Dogs, Cats, Pets”, Questions
  • Hot Topics – Gas Drilling, Safety, Traffic
  • Classifieds – For Free, For Rent, For Sale, Wanted, Jobs
  • Referrals – General Construction, Painting, Babysitting…and many more!
  • System Administration – Bulletin Board FAQs and Web Site Suggestions
  

When do you post vs. sending an e-mail?

As the e-mail list has grown, so has the number of messages that are sent to the group. We currently have 515 members and for the past 12 months an average of 103 e-mails are being sent each month. Please be considerate when sending an e-mail to the group. Many people have their work e-mail on the group and a large number of e-mails (especially with attachments) can fill up an inbox and be distracting. If a forum already exists on the bulletin board, please post it there instead. For example, if your teenager is advertising house sitting services, post it under the "Referrals – House Sitting" section of the bulletin board. As a bonus, instead of going into 500+ individual e-mail boxes and then deleted, it will be available for reference for years to come!
