New links?
We're adding links pertaining to ECRS, similar groups around the U.S. and elsewhere, and relevant resources on the web. To suggest links:
- Contact the web-manager, or...
- Use del.icio.us to "tag" ECRS-related sites.
- Sign up with your own username, if you don't have one already.
- Find/visit sites you think relate to ECRS.
- Tag these sites as "ecrs," adding other relevant tags appropriate to that particular site.
- We'll periodically check the sites compiled with that tag, and add the best ones to the list below.
ECRS, elsewhere on the web:
- ECRS - Yahoo Group
- Basically, an email list for announcements and discussion. Other services are available for those who join the group with a Yahoo login ID: calendar, photos, files, and archive of messages.
- Yahoo Group - email list only
- Subscribe directly to the email list, without using a Yahoo login ID.
- ECRS on the internet
- A cooperative conversation on how does, could, and should ECRS use the internet.
Other recreation organizations:
ECRS is one of several dozen regional organizations that started up in the middle of the last century, often called "Recreation Workshops" or "Rec Labs." Handfuls of these groups are still going, of which a few made it onto the web in recent years. Some websites appear to be defunct. If you have a current URL or other information, please advise.
