Will my membership automatically renew after one year?

When new members sign up, the auto-renew feature is automatically turned on. If you do not wish to auto-renew, follow the instructions below to change it.

Members who signed up before August 19, 2019 are required to manually renew each year unless you turn on the auto-renew setting and add your credit card* information.

You will receive two e-mail reminders (two weeks and two days) before your membership expires.

What is the Rovers e-group?

The e-group is a group e-mail address that is used to communicate to all club members who are subscribed. There are a variety of uses for this forum such as:

To invite others to join you on a last-minute day trip (ski, hike, bike ride, etc.) that was not announced at the previous meeting or posted on the Rovers website. Overnight trips may be sent to the e-group after the trip has been submitted for posting on the Rovers website.
To get a feel for what kind of interest there might be for a trip you are considering coordinating.
To alert members of an important event, issue (non-political), or change in plans or procedures.
To post a trip report of a trip you recently coordinated or attended.
To post a message to generate interest in certain activities or locations.

Subscription to the e-group is available to Minnesota Rovers club members only. Only current club members will be able to post messages and receive messages via email.

Guidelines

Please use the e-group responsibly. Absolutely NO COMMERCIAL ADVERTISING for personal gain.
Please always sign your name at the end of your post. Anonymous posts are not welcome.
When replying to a message you receive via the e-group, first ask yourself, “Do 800+ people want to receive my reply or just the person who posted this message?” Using the REPLY button will send your reply to the person who posted the message only. Please use the REPLY TO ALL button responsibly!
All posted messages reflect the opinion of the sender — not the views of the club. To keep this a positive environment, we request that all participants express their opinions in a positive, constructive manner.
Minnesota Rovers Outdoors Club reserves the right to ban or restrict subscribers of this e-group.
Minnesota Rovers members should not publicly post participants’ personally identifiable information (email address, phone number, etc.).

Gear Swap Subgroup

We also have a separate subgroup for buying, selling, or trading gear. To join that group, login to your groups.io account, find the Subgroups link on the left, then you’ll see a list of subgroups available to join. Click on Gear Swap then click the +Join This Group button.

Too many emails?

You can log into the e-group and change your settings to no emails, digest, or summary. Read more tips on controlling the volume of messages in the Help Center.

If you haven’t already set up a password, click the “email me a link to log in” button — or if you have, just enter your email address and password.

You’ll find the settings under the Subscription link in the navigation.

If you want to completely leave the group, you can click the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of one of the email messages.
