The 59th annual Bloomington CBC will be held on Dec 20, 2025
We use mailing list for announcements, so that I don't have to BCC dozens of people every time. Because of the large number of participants in our count circle, I won't be able manage email addresses or send information about the CBC on an individual basis, so please follow the self-serve instructions below.
If you're not already a member of the mailing list already, please subscribe so you can receive announcements (it's hosted on Google Groups, but you don't need a gmail address or Google account to join.) Here are the steps:
Send an empty email to bloomingtonmncbc+subscribe@googlegroups.com.
You'll receive a reply back with the subject "Join request for bloomingtonmncbc" (make sure to check your spam/junk folder!) which says:
We received your request to join bloomingtonmncbc.
bloomingtonmncbc requires owner approval for join requests. If you would like to continue with your join request, reply to this email or click below
All you need to do is hit "reply" and then I'll see the pending member request so I can approve you.
When it's approved you'll start receiving group announcements by email.
Simply send an empty email to bloomingtonmncbc+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com.
If you have change email addresses, all you need to do is unsubscribe using the old email, and resubscribe with the new one, following the same steps as above. It's important to keep your address current for this list. Make sure that you are using the same address that you are using to fill out the participant survey, otherwise it's difficult for me to keep track of participants.
