How to Create Your Own Domain Email


Find a domain to registrar. There are many domain registrar websites where you can register your own domain. You can visit a site like GoDaddy, DirectNIC or Network Solutions to buy a web domain. Use the website's search function to find a website that hasn't been registered and that is personal to you.
Select the type of domain you want. Domains come in several types. You can buy '.com,' '.net,' '.biz,' '.us,' or even '.tv.' Select the domain name and type, and purchase it from the site. The fee will vary depending on the type of domain you want.
Buy web hosting. Now that you have a domain, you need to find a host. You can normally buy hosting very cheaply from the company that you bought your domain from, or it may be included in the price of the domain. If you decide to use another host, you will need to follow their instructions for changing your nameservers to the ones that they specify.
Get an email program. Many people use Microsoft Outlook for an email client or you can use something else. You can even use some of the online Web-based services such as Gmail, Yahoo or Hotmail that allow you to use the POP3 email protocol and download your email into their program for viewing from any computer.
Configure the email program. You will normally find account options under the 'Tools' or 'Options' menu of your email program. This is where you tell the program where to retrieve your email. Use your username and password, as well as your email server information -- provided by your Web hosting company -- to set up your email accounts.
Test your settings. Send yourself some email from another account and make sure that you can send and receive email properly. If you can, you are ready to start giving out your new email account.

How to Organize a Euchre Tournament Fundraiser


Build a team of volunteers, calling on people in the organization for which you are holding the fundraiser. You will make the volunteers feel valued by including them in every step of the planning--plus, they might have great ideas.
Pick a date for the euchre tournament fundraiser. Choose a date that is far enough out that you have time to organize and advertise the event, and a date that does not conflict with a holiday or other time when people might not be able to attend.
Pick a location. The organization might have its own space that you can use for the event. If not, see if a local event hall will let you rent the hall for free or at a discount, in return for advertising at the tournament.
Decide what types of refreshments to provide, and whether you will offer alcoholic drinks. Consider providing a cash bar with proceeds going to your cause. Check with city hall to see if you need a special permit to serve alcohol or food.
Decide how you will raise money during the fundraiser. For example, you could charge a fee to enter the tournament, or you could charge a fee for each game played. You also could sell tickets for a raffle at the end of the fundraiser. Choose prizes that are not too expensive but are still nice, such as a bottle of wine or a knife set, or ask merchants to contribute raffle prizes.
Design invitations or fliers for the euchre tournament fundraiser event. Include the organization's name, the place and date of the euchre tournament fundraiser, and any other important information such as a cover charge. Make sure the title of the fundraiser stands out to attract attention, and include a picture. Be sure to let guests know where their money will go and what it will buy.
Decide on the number of tables to have at the fundraiser, and buy one deck of cards for each table; you can buy special euchre decks, or you can create a euchre deck from a regular deck. Buy some extra decks of cards, in case any are lost or damaged, or anyone requests an extra table.
On the night of the fundraiser, assign tasks to each volunteer and ensure they are familiar with their job description. Hand out thank you cards, or small gifts if funds allow, to each volunteer to thank him for his help in organizing the euchre tournament fundraiser.
