GUIDELINES FOR POSTING
Who puts this online
calendar together?
You do, because you are the one who submits events for the calendar.
Who supports the
calendar system?
As a service to the community, webmaster Rob Blackburn has created this site
with the aid and assistance of the Clinton Lions Club. Through the efforts of
Rob and the website committee, they will work hard to keep the site up-to-date.
Why do we need this
calendar?
Members of the community told us there needs to be a way to promote events
and a way to avoid scheduling conflicts. Through this completely free service,
we hope to accomplish this goal.
How does it work?
By logging onto
www.clintoncommunitycalendar.com, you can link to our event submission form
by clicking the link at the bottom of the page. By filling out a short form
with the necessary information, you can submit it to the calendar. This
information is forwarded to a site administrator who will then add the event to
the calendar.
Guidelines
Posting an item on the calendar system means you have read these guidelines and agree to abide by them.
You are responsible for submitting correct data to the calendar. The sponsors are providing the conduit and you are providing the information. We will not accept postings or edits submitted by phone or fax. You will find the web-based submission form extremely easy to use and that’s one of the reasons we picked it among all the options we considered.
The webmasters will monitor and edit calendar entries. If you need to edit a calendar event, please send an e-mail to webmaster@clintoncommunitycalendar.com.
The site administrators hold the right to EDIT all submissions before adding them to the calendar.
The calendar is for NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. We want to be very clear here – if it is a non-profit event, then we will gladly add your event to the calendar; otherwise we will not be able to add it.
No advertising. No garage sales. No classified ads. No retail store sales. That being said, we need you to understand that this all began as an idea for an event calendar for groups to help each other. By avoiding conflicts and helping each other to schedule, we hope this helps everyone in the community.
By all means list class sign up days and the like on the calendar. And it’s fine to post one-time workshop or similar class events. We will have a cluttered, chaotic, and pretty useless community calendar if you list items like regular business meetings for a group.
Legal talk: The sponsors reserve the right to decline content when, in the opinion of the sponsors, it violates a third party’s right of privacy or contains any defamatory content or violates any state, federal or local laws or regulations.
More legal talk: By posting items, all content providers hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the sponsors, including Webmaster Rob Blackburn and the Clinton Lions Club, its committees, officers, directors, and agents from any and all third party claims that the content violates a third party’s right of privacy or contains any defamatory content or violates any state, federal or local laws or regulations.
Description of the Calendar Addition Form:
Please Note: It is of great help if you follow the guidelines and examples listed on the Addition Form.
Date: Please follow the format: dd/mm/yyyy. This helps the administrator to input the information to the calendar.
Time – Start: Please simply select the start time, minute, and AM/PM from the drop down menus.
Time – End: Again, please simply select the start time, minute, and AM/PM from the drop down menus. For events without and end time or with a questionable end time, please select 0:00 AM.
Organization: Please tell us what organization the event is for.
Contact Name: Please tell us who we (or in some instances the public) can contact if we have questions.
Contact Phone: Please provide us with a phone number in case one of the site administrators has a question of concern with your submission.
Add Phone To Calendar: Please select Yes or No if you would like us to add your name/contact phone number on the calendar. If you select no, we will NOT add this information to the calendar.
E-Mail Address: Please provide us with an e-mail address if you have one. If one is submitted, once your event has been added to the calendar, we will send you a confirmation via e-mail.
Add E-Mail to Calendar: Please select Yes or No if you would like us to add your e-mail address to the calendar so that the public can communicate with you via e-mail.
Location: Let us know where you are having your event! Please provide us with your street address, and if the location is a little tricky to find, give us some directions so that we can add those to the calendar so that people can find you!
Event Details: This is where you can let us know what the event is all about! Put things here like who the proceeds benefit, the cost of admission, where you can buy advance tickets, or anything else you can think of!
IF YOU NEED TO CHANGE SOMETHING ABOUT AN EVENT THAT YOU ALREADY SUBMITTED TO THE CALENDAR – DO NOT FILL OUT THE FORM AGAIN! PLEASE SEND AN E-MAIL TO: webmaster@clintoncommunitycalendar.com WITH THE DETAILS ABOUT THE CHANGE THAT WAS MADE TO YOUR EVENT!
PLEASE REMEMBER, AFTER CLICKING ‘SUBMIT’, YOUR EVENT WILL NOT BE IMMEDIATELY VIEWABLE ON THE CALENDAR. IT MUST FIRST BE APPROVED BY A SITE ADMINISTRATOR, AND THEN IT WILL BE ADDED TO THE CALENDAR (please allow 24-48 hours for this to be accomplished)!
