Hi TacomaArt listserv members. A quick note about yesterday's listserv post overload -

What happened is that a member made a calendar invitation for their own personal calendar and accidentally invited the listserv email to it. This resulted in dozens of listserv members declining the invitation with a new listserv post for each person that was declining. We shut down the listserv as soon as we caught what was going on and it will remain in emergency (moderated) mode until we are sure that everything has simmered down.

Lesson learned - please DO NOT add the listserv email address (tacomaart@list.cityoftacoma.orgmailto:tacomaart@list.cityoftacoma.org) to any calendar invitation you create.

The listserv is an automated system and it doesn't always function perfectly, just like all of us. Thanks for your grace and patience.
