Communications
Mailings
The LFA sends out at least three mailings each year. Invoices and statements are mailed in late winter or early spring. Another mailing with the lock combination and park rules goes out to participating and associate members in late spring. Then in late summer or early fall all members are invited to the annual membership meeting.

The LFA Backyard Fence
The LFA Backyard Fence is an email listserv for two-way email communication. Only members and associate members can join. You can reach over one hundred of your Lake Forest neighbors with a single email. They can also reply, and their reply will go to all subscribers to the list, enabling a neighborhood discussion on any subject of interest.
To Join the List
To join, use this simple form.
The LFA Backyard Fence website
The Backyard Fence service is provided by Yahoo! Groups. Its home page is: groups.yahoo.com/group/LFAbackyardfence. Here you can join or leave the group, change your email address, read from a library of previous messages, choose between individual messages and a daily digest.
What’s a listserv?
For those not familiar with listservs, here’s how they work. After you have subscribed to the list, any email you send to the email address lfabackyardfence@yahoogroups.com will be forwarded to everyone who has subscribed. If you reply to a message from the listserv, that reply will also go to everyone on the list. You can leave the list any time by going to the Yahoo! Group website link above.
The Fine Print
- Only Lake Forest Association members and associate members may join the listserv. Membership must be approved by the list moderator.
- The listserv should not be used for commercial purposes. In other words, don’t promote your business on the listserv. Emails to sell your house or personal property are fine, however.
- Please include a subject in your emails to the list.
