THE YAHOO! GROUPS
Park Slope Parents maintains two different lists for our members via Yahoo! Groups.
The Main List (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ParkSlopeParents/): This list is a forum for the exchange of information about nearby activities and parenting issues such as "Where's the best place to get shoes that fit?," "Does anyone have an idea of how to get a baby to take a bottle?," and "Can someone tell me how to go about choosing a preschool?"
The Classifieds List (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ParkSlopeParents_Classifieds/): This list is place for members to post their items for sale, trade, or give away, "in search of" requests, Babysitter/Nanny needs and availability, Real Estate, Lost and Found, Help Wanted, and Garage/Stoop/Yard sales.
Both lists are "gently" moderated to ensure that posts are made to the appropriate list and follow PSP guidelines.
NEW GROUP!!!
The PSP Career Networking Group (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PSPCareerNetworking/) will provide a supportive and active networking community for parents interested in: networking, changing careers, looking for work, going back to school, and offering employment or advice to other members. An extra membership fee of $10 is required to join this group.

Membership requires an annual $25 membership fee. Park Slope Parents relies on these fees to help cover costs, including: legal expenses, accounting and bookkeeping, payroll, events, website fees and all the other little things necessary to grow and sustain our organization for years to come.
