Awesome! I'll be eager to hear when it's completed. :)

I assumed that they got an email at that address already when I applied, but it can't hurt. I've written up a nice template to use in emailing, and hope it will help with some. I've had at least two or three groups approve my membership (and one denied, but I could read the messages just by applying, so was able to back it up anyway), but the majority have been silent. Fingers crossed that this will elicit a few positive responses!
