My DH and I got ourselves and our sailboat into the local sailing club last spring to escape public boat launch hell. We get emails from there a couple times a week about races and other info.
This morning some couple at at the club got the club to send out a mass emal that their special sprog, Ian is going to be on The Voice on NBC. I had no idea what The Voice is since I really don't use the tv outside of MASH reruns, exercise vids and music vids.
I literally thought The Voice was some NPR thing where the kid was going to talk about sailing and then I looked it up and it is something like American Idol. So I guess as long as you are a parent at the club and your kid is trying to get rich and famous then the rest of us strangers need to know for some humble bragging. I considered emailing back and asking "Is this a thing where people are interviewed about sailing" or "Well if he ends up rich and famous his yacht will be too big for the lake"
Anyway if you are a parent you are allowed to use the club for your own personal announcements. I doubt anyone else would be able to do that
