The listserv is a valuable resource for any non-profit especially when its members are scattered across the state. DARCA uses the listserv as an immediate newsletter to members about new important information and upcoming events. However, you can also use the listserv as a way to communicate with your fellow ditch or reservoir companies.
Our listserv is mostly made up of DARCA members, along with a few special friends so there is a lot of information just waiting to be tapped. Many members have found great value already; for example, one member got great response from the listserv:
You might recall back in October, I contacted you asking what other companies do about Shareholders wanting to pump directly from the ditch? At your suggestion we contacted our fellow DARCA members and received 16 replies to our question. This was a gold mine of input from which we have formulated our pumping policy. On behalf of our Board of Directors…We would like to thank DARCA for your help. Being able to network with people who have similar problems was not possible before DARCA came into existence.
You can sign up any member of your company. Send an email to
to sign up board members, ditch riders, superintendents and shareholders.
Its simple to use for those of you that are already on the list, just send an email to
and all your fellow members will receive your message.
