Here in Northern California, we have several avenues to communicate out to our large community of coaches, parents, volunteers and friends of FLL and Playing At Learning.

For discussions, we have this community! This is a dedicated community hosted by playingatlearning.org.  It does require a separate ID/password but you opt in and decide which information about yourself is disclosed. 

The googlegroup list (norcalfll-announce) is a low volume list that will be used solely as a one way announcements-only list to communicate important information.  We strongly recommend that you join the googlegroup!

Finally, we use the Northern California FLL website (norcalfll.org) site to provide links, status information and other helpful information.
