Notifications & Newsletter

Mailing List and Reminders

At HSWL, we produce a monthly newsletter, send out reminders the day before each group meeting/event, and email with any important notifications about upcoming events.  We also provide a text message service from 2019 that will send reminders before each group meeting/event.  Please see below if you would like to sign up to any of these two free services.
