Many of the groups on FB are closed/invitation only, or you request to be added. there are options if you don't want to set up an open group. FB doesn't have to be a black hole. -Original Message- >From: Cin >Sent: Aug 29, 2015 2:35 PM >To: Historical Costume >Subject: Re: [h-cost] h-

It is, and they seem to fit the criteria of an all-era group. Unless they limit membership to the Greater Bay Area? I think the person asking (on facebook) wanted to see if there was a group already established before starting her own. There are a lot with a specific era of focus. -Carol > O

I don't think many FB groups are invitation only or require a private request to a moderator to be added. But to post, you do have to join by clicking a "Join this group" button. That said, FB is generally not a venue where long, substantive discussions take place. Its tiny message boxes encou

I don't think GBACG restricts their FB membership to local residents, but they do focus primarily on local events. If you want a regional FB group that includes some discussion of more general costuming issues, there is a huge number of them for different areas. Just look up your city, state,

BTW, for the few who are left in h-costume, I just wanted to say my husband and I are cashing in our SF house, which we've owned for over 30 years, to take advantage of the local real estate boom. And we already bought our dream house in the Sacramento area! We don't expect to move in till so

The seller did a lot of work to prepare for the sale, including a new roof, and we now have estimates for all the indoor work we want to do. So I don't think there will be any more expensive surprises. The other surprises are kind of fun. The house is almost 5,000 square feet (plus garage) an

Really, Majordomo lists are superior except for not transferring images, which people discussing costuming often want to do. I'd assume maybe they can, if the moderator sets it up? People have more bandwidth now than they did 20+ years ago when I first joined. Fran Lavolta Press www.lavoltap

Sounds MARVELOUS! We've been following American Bungalow magazine and the other major Arts-n-Crafts-houses one (which I can never remember the name of!) for quite a while now. Since it's only the 40's, that's probably too recent for any Sacramento heritage-housing organization to be interested

We're not going to take care of the garden ourselves. The previous owner had a team of two gardeners who come once a week and we kept them on. Yes, there are many large, mature trees. Also an incredibly prolific Meyer lemon tree. A lot of rose bushes but all white. It's more like a landscape
