Starting this September the Communications Team will produce a
monthly newsletter. This new communications vehicle will be distributed prior to the start of each month, so you can look ahead to the upcoming month(s) and mark your calendar with future events. It will also contain interesting, varied and newsworthy items and be similar to the monthly newsletters of the past (
like this one).
The weekly update will be much shorter (one page). It will contain the weekly calendar and timely news items for the upcoming week. It will be emailed to you, and printed and distributed in the Order of Service.
How to get your events published:
In the Monthly Newsletter
- Submit articles to news@uucm.org
- Deadline: the 20th of each month.
In the Weekly Update
- Submit your changes/updates about an event or a short "Save the Date" announcement. No long articles!
- Submit articles to office@uucm.org
- Put "Weekly Update" in the subject line of your email
- Deadline: Monday
Responsibilities of Event Owners
- Review the online calendar prior to each month to be sure your event listing is correct. This is especially important for recurring events that have been populated to the calendar for the entire year.
Keeping the UUCM Calendar Up to Date
The UUCM Calendar is the place to quickly find key information about anything happening at UUCM. There is a link to this calendar from uucm.org and the monthly and weekly newsletters.
- To reserve a room for an event, submit the key information, including a brief description, to Stacey, the office admin. Email office@uucm.org or use this form
- Put "Calendar" in the subject line of your email
- Email any changes so we can update the calendar and notify people in the Weekly Update
- Let Stacey know the actual start and end times of your event. Also specify if you need extra set-up or clean-up time.
It takes time and conscious effort to communicate all the great things that are happening at UUCM. Let us put the energy into making all the communications accurate, so everyone is "in the know" about UUCM happenings!
