How to Submit an Announcement

to the wethersfield.net

Events Calendar and Kiosk & More

Wethersfield.net will consider releases, bulletins, notes and PSA's (public service announcements) from non-profit, charitable and community service groups where there seems to be an important value to the community at large to learn about the event and its sponsoring organization. Additional information about this section: about...

We prefer to receive such information about two-three weeks before the scheduled event. Adequate lead time may influence whether a PSA is used or not.

Prospective announcements will be accepted via email only.

Complete information is vital. A little more information offered in the announcement is better than less. Such information should include, where essential:

• date(s) for the event, and rain date if applicable

• location / venue, (primary or alternative if applicable)

• time(s) (from - to)

• identity of sponsoring organization

• reason for the event

• for whom the event is intended

• the way in which the public is to be involved

• special accommodations for handicapped

• charge, if any, for participation

• benefits to participant / attendee

• public contact info for questions, tickets, forms, etc.

• phone number / email / hyperlink, and finally:

• submitter's contact info if WE have questions:

• name, town, phone number, and email address

Optionally, you may include by email attachment small to medium (25-250 Kb)medium, digital graphics (logos, illustrations or images in either GIF or JPG format), if available and desirable. Content and space permitting, they might be used in a reduced size to accompany your PSA.

Expect that the announcement will be edited for content, format and length. There is no guarantee that a submission will be used in any form at our discretion. The bulletin or advice offered may not be financially self-serving. Wethersfield.net will not be held liable for content or any effect of using such information published here; the reader / viewer shall use it at his/her own risk.

In the community spirit, we encourage you to release your PSA (public service announcement) and other "news" to ALL media covering Wethersfield such as:

In addition to these, consider starting a discussion area at the new (2002) "Civic Radar" website, which currently includes a section for Wethersfield, the 'Town Green Forum'. A link for this community "bulletin board" is continuously kept on our [Calendar/Kiosk] page. (Another section of Civic Radar allows citizens to register concerns directed at a specific TOW department and will generate a response and tracking number for a concern's resolution. How long Civic Radar will last will depend on its use by citizens and its underlying financial non-profit support.) In either case, a user / participant in [Civic Radar] must register there first. We have tried it, IT WORKS! You try it now!
