How to get on these lists in Orange

Three steps, once. After that the local news comes to you instead of you going to find it.

  1. Subscribe at the source

    Open each organization's own site and look for its events, newsletter, or email-updates page. Library systems and parks departments almost always keep a signup form there.

    • Orange CA family activities
    • Orange CA parks and recreation kids programs
    • Orange CA library events for families
  2. Point them somewhere useful

    Use your FamilyHQ forwarding address, or set a rule in your own inbox that auto-forwards anything from these Orange senders. Either way you stop relying on catching them by eye.

  3. Read one digest instead of ten newsletters

    FamilyHQ pulls the dates, deadlines, and registration windows out of what arrives and puts them in one weekly view alongside your school, camp, and team email.

Less inbox, more family

Turn these into a plan, not more open tabs

Forward emails from these Orange sources — along with school, camp, and team messages — to your FamilyHQ address. Dates, deadlines, and events get pulled out automatically and land in one weekly digest, instead of scattered across separate inboxes and newsletters.
