Setting up for Google access
Getting Started
There are two GLHOA entities - GoogleGroups and GoogleSites.
All homeowners are welcome to join as members of the GoogleGroup
This provides email access to the GLHOA
The website is a place to find information relevant to the association
Three levels of access
Non-member of the association. Non-members can only see publicly available info that's posted on our website.
Registered member. Registered members get notified of upcoming meetings and can engage in email conversations with the neighborhood.
Access to GLHA web resources. Members with a registered google account can access the web resources. This includes archives of neighborhood meetings, a searchable archive of emails, and association contact information.
Note: If you're logged in to your google account and you see boxes that say "You Need Permission" - don't bother clicking 'Request Access', instead, go to the section below:
"3. Request access to GLHOA".
If you're not yet logged on to google, start with the section below:
"2. log in to google account"
Gaining Web Access - This will get you full access to all resources and register your email in three easy steps
Create a google account if you don't already have one
Log in to the google account
Request access to the group via the group's web page
1. Create a google account (using existing or creating a new email account):
Go to google.com, and click on 'Sign In' in the upper right
On Sign In page, click on 'Create Account' at the bottom
Enter first and last name
At this point you can either create a new gmail account, or click on 'Use my current email address instead' to enter your current email. This will send a confirmation to that email just to ensure that you really own that email address.
Create a password (note the instructions of 8 characters, mixing letters numbers and symbols)
Click next - it'll prompt for a phone number. This will receive a text message that you'll need to enter for confirmation. You can remove the number in the next step
It'll prompt for some basic info (gender, birthday). These aren't critical.
Privacy terms will need to be accepted
2. Log in to google account
If you just created an account, you'll be automatically logged in. Otherwise go to google.com and 'Sign In'
3. Request access to GLHOA
Click on the 'Google Group' button at the top of this page
Click on 'Apply for membership'
Add relevant info in the box such as your address and phone number.
Click on 'Apply to join this group'. This will send an email to the GLHOASecretary to approve the application, so you may not be 'in' the group for another 24 hours
If you don't want a google account and don't need web access
You still need to register your contact info with the secretary. Send an email containing your name, address, email, and phone to GLHOASecretary@gmail.com. This entitles you to notices of upcoming meetings, voting rights within the association, and access to other GLHOA information.
To modify your information
Send a note to GLHOASecretary@gmail.com if you need to add, delete, or change any information. If you have web access, you can see what your currently registered information is.
