We receive a great many emails with events for our newsletter. We wish we could include them all. Here's how to increase the likelihood of being included:
We like to copy and paste directly from your email to our newsletter, so please use plain text (or unadorned HTML) in your emails to us.
Include everything essential, but try to limit your notice to a paragraph or two. Be sure to include your location, date(s) and time, contact information and whether the event is free (provide prices if not).
It's ok to attach an image, but we may not have room for it. It helps if the image is small (maximum 200 x 200), but we can resize it if necessary.
Feel free to include a link for more information!
Try to send well in advance - preferably two weeks - but send anyway - we may have room at the last minute. As of yet, we don't have a regular schedule, but we're aiming for every two weeks.
Over 5,000 people receive our news-letter, and the list is growing. You can help us by forwarding it to folks - an easy way to inform them about YOUR event! (See the"Forward" link at the bottom of the newsletter.)
Greetings! ,
I'm in Big Trouble!
There's just too much going on - I've double-booked at least three times. We have auctions, concerts, workshops, dramatic performances - and so much more! I KNOW I'm going to offend someone.
And furthermore, there's no way I can cover everything. But I offer a few highlights for the upcoming weeks - I guess that's the secret - plan ahead!
