−	NASPA-PRO is a ~~yahoo~~ group used for its listserv capacity, and the rest of this message pertains to this listserv capacity. NASPA-PRO is the official, members-only listserv of the North American SCRABBLE Players Association.

To be a useful forum, NASPA-PRO needs something from each of us — our stewardship. If the focus of this list is to be on NASPA and its mission, then each one of us must take the time to learn and use the listserv effectively and appropriately.	+	NASPA-PRO is a defunct Yahoo group formerly used in a listserv capacity.
