PSA re: Calendar

This is absolutely NOT meant to embarrass anyone but rather to give a little advice. I often check the HL calendar for things to do, but can't always take advantage of them, because information is scanty or missing altogether. Remember, you know what you're referencing, but imagine a stranger reading it. Will they know where you are? When the event is? How to get in touch with you?

Below are some examples of what I mean from this month's calendar. Please be sure to put the name of your organization, where the event is (an address!) and a contact phone or email address!

Yes I have noticed that too! I wonder why the posters don't bother to put the key information in there?!


It's too late to fix anything that's already past. But never did find out about the fitness class. Czigmeister is fixed. Anyone know which bank? A quick search doesn't turn it up, and there are a few more banks than I'd like to have to check individually if they have some kind of event calendars.


I have noticed this happening myself lately. In fact, the other day I posted a event and it was published in the HL Ads. A few hours later I realized that I did not indicate one thing in my ad and that was the price to attend this event... You can always go back to your ad and edit it at any time and that is what I did. I so agree...if you are going to publish something in the Classifieds or in HL Advertising or even in a thread...Please be sure to review it before submitting it to make sure the address and time and cost ( if any). is included.

Would be nice if the yoga class today specified a location. (Why is that not obvious to people who post events on the calendar?)

Maybe site admin can add a contact envelope requirement for all posts to calendar.
