The RSB-NC List is a Google Group that can be used to share information and conversation with other members and friends of our Branch. Once you have joined the List, you can post to the List using this email address:

rsb-nc-list@googlegroups.com

This List requires that you have a Google Account to join it. Many people already have a Google Account, for example they use a Gmail address or they access files on a Google Drive.

If you already have a Google Account, it’s very easy to join our Branch email list. If you don’t have a Google Account you can use any existing email address and open a Google Account for that email address. The steps are more complicated but once your Account is set up and you are signed up to RSB-NC List, you don’t need to do anything more with Google.

Steps to Join the RSB-NC List
