We email our club members regularly, but the main form of communication between club members and club leaders is through the GroupMe app. This private messaging app can be downloaded onto a smart phone or accessed via the internet on a PC. In the app, we confirm meetings and dates, ask/answer questions, give directions, and upload educational documents. Access to the app on a regular basis is required for participation. We are willing to help with any download questions- though our GroupMe groups are only for paid members of WNK. Once your membership in WNK is confirmed by the secretary, we can add you to the message group. We encourage both parents and mature youth (with parental approval) join our GroupMe message group.
