The following are suggestions for those submitting calendar items for
publication in the Newsletter or on the NCS Web Page. In general, the web
page may
contain more details than the newsletter, because of space/mailing
weight considerations. For those without email - no, we're not putting
less in the
newsletter calendar, we're just expanding it on the web page. (Jim
and Sarah’s addresses can be found above.)
1) if we ask for a contact method, always include a phone number, not
everyone has email.
2) time & place of the event.
3) location of event, directions to get there if needed, or how to
obtain directions (who to phone, email, etc).
4) cost of event - we haven't always been including this, we hope to
begin to.
5) special schedules around holidays, summertime, etc.
6) tell us if there’s a change in time (or location, price, etc) -
for two reasons - so that we don’t say - “oh yes, that’s the same group
as before” and miss
changing the time, and so we can put in in bold to alert our readers
to a change.
7) registration deadline, where to get registration forms, etc, if
applicable.
8) if it's a special event, include a brief description, or a even
a paragraph we could publish if the timing's right and space allows. Our
primary emphasis is
folk music and dance, but paragraphs (or very occasionally whole stories!)
on other Scandinavian cultural events are more than welcome depending on
space and timing. (see below for publication schedule)
9) contact people for info for those reading calendar (eg, phone #,
address, regularly read email - if you read it only every 2-4 days, warn
folks, if only
once every week or so - probably best to forget it!)
10) Contact people for we who create the calendar - you can specify
not to publish this particular information - it's just for us to check
to see that our info is
ok or if you want to update anything when the next publication date
rolls around. Again - specify phone #, email, etc.
11) Any other pertinent information.
We hope & attempt to publish on the following rough schedule:
Vol. 12, No. 1 late February, early March
Vol. 12, No. 2 late May - early June
Vol. 12, No. 3 late August - early September
Vol. 12, No. 4 late November - early December §
