Please email your Community Event Calendar submissions to

Editor@HopNews.com

Here are some tips for submitting press releases; and information for the Community Event Calendar and having the greatest chance of having it posted in a timely manner:

• Do your homework. Get your information right the first time.

• Send it to us as soon as it is available. We don't want to see it in a print publication the day we get it from you, as that takes away our natural advantage.

• Be concise. Event, reasons, names, dates, locations, times.

• Have one spokesperson for your group. Multiple spokespeople create multiple tasks.

• A correction of a posted submission must have an origin of the error. If you have corrections after a submission, be sure to tell us if it is your error or ours. The reason is that we are in the business of being accurate, as thousands of readers may rely on us for the precise information, and if it is our mistake, we want to know how it happened so it doesn't happen again. If it is your error, or you send us erroneous information, please fess up and save us the time researching.

• Do not use ALL CAPS in any part of your release, even the title. If you are sending information from a poster you made, please change the fonts down to normal, not bold, and 10 pt. arial.
