It provides you with a user name that will allow you to join any Yahoo! group, access to special Yahoo! services, an e-mail address that is accessible from any computer with an Internet connection and the ability to access your regular e-mail through the account.

  2. Click on "Join this group" near the top
  3. Sign in with your Yahoo! ID and Password.

  5. * If you prefer that your messages be delivered to another e-mail address (i.e., your Earthlink, RoadRunner, AOL, etc. account rather than your Yahoo! account), simply add the alternate address to your Yahoo! account by clicking on "Add new email address" and entering the requested information. You will be required to verify any alternate address. Click on "Verify" and Yahoo! will send a confirmation e-mail to that address. When you receive that confirmation e-mail at the alternate address (e.g. Earthlink, RoadRunner, AOL, etc.), please follow the instructions given in the e-mail and it will bring you back to the CACC's profile page.
  6. You can now select this new alternate e-mail address to receive all your group email!
  7. Click on "Join" at the bottom of the page.
