Submission of Newsletter and Web Page Calendar Items
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 §
