I know it can be difficult to schedule local events when the Washington::Elsewhere region is spread across the entire state. I've created an Elsewhere Calendar, and I'll be glad to share it with anyone who is orgnaizing events in your local areas. Send me the details by NaNoMail of the first event, along with your email address. I'll post the first event and add you to the permission list so you can update the calendar with the rest of your scheduled events.
If more than one person from your area is hosting events, I would ask you designate only one person to have access to update the calendar.
The informaiton I will need is:
- Organizer's regular email address
- Event Date and start & stop times
- let me know whether it is a one-time meeting or a recurring event; i.e., every Thursday at 6 pm
- Event Location with full street address
- Brief description to let those attending know what to expect
- is this write-in, a social gathering, or something else?
- Here is also where you can tell newcomers how to find you -- will you be the one wearing the red carnation in your lapel or perhaps have a blue boa slung across your shoulders? Maybe just a laptop festooned with NaNoWriMo stickers from years past.
- Are there any rules the participants need to know about? Does the establishment require a minimum purchase for internet access, or are you expected to stay within a designated area, etc.
As the calendar gets crowded, you may want to get in the habit of clicking on the Google Calendar button at the bottom of the calendar block in order to see the events in a more readable format.
