Castle Village

Renee has done an outstanding job of updating our events calendar.  Public and local Hudson Heights events have been separated out into a new category in green, CV-only events are now in red.  Don’t forget, if you use a calendar that supports iCal feeds, you can subscribe to this calendar to have the events automatically show up on your personal calendar.  

If you want your event included, please email events@castlevillage.org.

Enjoy!

The CV Web Directory has been posted here (CV username and password required).  If you haven’t registered, please do so on the registration page.  If you’d like to change your listing preferences, please do so by submitting this form.

This directory is for your PERSONAL USE ONLY.  Any misuse, such as “blast emails” to groups of registrants may result in your removal from access to the private area and loss of email privileges.   

The CV Directory lists your CV email address, so don’t forget to login and set up forwarding!

Did you know you can get all articles posted to this site delivered to your email address (and you’ll only get a single email at most each day)?  All you need to do is click on this link and follow instructions.  There are other subscription options as well — just look at the bottom of every page on the CV website.

When you register for an account on the castlevillage.org Google Apps site, one of the services you’ll be able to use is a full-featured email service — essentially the same as Google’s Gmail, but with a castlevillage.org email address.

Most of you will already have your own email service, however, so you have a choice:  either use your castlevillage.org email address as our primary service, or have your castlevillage.org mail forwarded to your existing service.  If you’re not that happy with your current service, you may want to consider the former.  Google’s Gmail is consistently ranked as the web’s top email service, and you can access it from just about any device (web, iphone, blackberry, palm, outlook) you may use.

If you’re happy with your current service, however, it is very simple to have mail that goes to your castlevillage.org address to be forwarded to your current service:

Here’s how to forward messages automatically:

1. Sign in to Gmail.
2. Click Settings at the top of any Gmail page, and open the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab.
3. Enter the email address to which you’d like your messages forwarded.
4. Select the action you’d like your messages to take from the drop-down menu. You can choose to keep Gmail’s copy of the message in your inbox, or you can send it automatically to All Mail or Trash.
5. Click Save Changes.

You also can set up filters to forward messages that meet specific criteria. You can create 20 filters that forward to other addresses. You can maximize your filtered forwarding by combining filters that send to the same address.

Either way, we think you’ll be thrilled with the new mail service!

When you register for the Castle Village private site, you’ll be given an account on Castle Village’s own Google Apps, which will allow you access to private web pages and documents, in addition to fully featured email (your own castlevillage.org email address), calendaring, word processing and more!

As questions come up regarding the use of the services, we’ll post tips and hints for getting the most out of your account on this page.

We will post news and announcements on this page.
