The new members of the EDbN receive an invitation to be members of the e-group (electronic group) specific.
In the past times the communication between the members had been slow and complicated. In addition, we did not have guarantee that the information reached everybody.The EDbN e-group is a closed e-mail list. The messages and replies will reach only to the members of the list. We apologize because we are going to have a small annoyance with something of advertising in the bottom of our messages. It is a small price.
The EDbN considers the point of view of the families' high-priority since their organizations are weaker. To share the news, information, formation, training and to coordinate projects of common interest are objective of interest for all the members of the EDbN.
The sites: "files", "polls", "links" and "event list" in the "calendar" area contains important informations for EDbN members. Please do not hesitate to contact me Ricard Lopez if you need any more information.
