Creating Groups of Contacts
You can use Address Book’s groups many ways. For example, you can create a group of people working on a current project so you can email them all at once. Or you can create a group of addresses for holiday cards so you can print address labels. Each contact can be in as many groups as you want to put it in; deleting it from a group doesn’t delete it from Address Book.
)
Click the + button under the list of groups and choose New Group from the pop-up menu.
Give the new group a name.
Click All Contacts or a group that contains the contacts you want to add to the new group.
Drag the contacts into the new group.
Tip: A Two-Way Street
Creating a new group can work backward, too. First, 
to select the contacts you want to put in the group; then choose File, New Group from Selection.
Tip: Edit This
The Edit button is also where you should head (or, more precisely, click) when you want to make changes to an existing Address Book entry. To apply your changes, click Edit again, or you can just click another contact or group instead.
