If you are a Brother of any Lodge in the Section, you may join the list.

3.Who can send mail on the CoC mailing list?
Any person may send mail to the list. However, only messages from Chiefs, Advisers, and Section Officers will appear on the list right away. All other messages must be approved before they will appear on the list.

4.What messages are appropriate for the CoC mailing list?
Any e-mail messages that contain information that is useful to the members of the CoC are appropriate. E-mail containing profanity or links to offensive web sites are not appropriate. E-mail containing unapproved solicitations are not appropriate.
