Calendar

This space is normally devoted to the CALENDAR, a chronological listing of meetings, educational activities, benefits, rallies, trainings, and cultural events in our community. This month, however, AGENDA is devoting this space to explaining to the general public what the CALENDAR is and how groups can publicize their events in it. Please clip these guidelines out and keep them handy for future reference.

WHAT is the Calendar? The calendar s a place where groups can list their important activities and be sure they get printed (if they are in on time). The calendar's focus is the political arena and devoting space to the place and time of meetings is something AGENDA specializes in. We encourage groups to publicize their current work so that the general public is made more aware of how to get involved. AGENDA also lists art showings and cultural events which makes our CALENDAR well rounded and of interest to everyone.

HOW does an event get listed in the Calendar? Calendar entries can be sent in by any group that has an event of interest to the public. We prefer to receive listings on micro-floppy disc (Macintosh). If not on disk, the information must be typed, doublespaced. We need a contact name and phone number in case there are questions. The copy is subject to editing in the name of space saving. The entry must be sent in format .

WHEN'S THE DEADLINE? Listings must be received by the15th of the month previous to publication. For example, the deadline for the May issue is April 15th. That means if you are mailing your listing, it must be sent no later than the April 1 3th. Either bring or mail entries to our office at 202 E. Washington, #51 2, Ann Arbor, 481 04. Disks are mailable! Please leave a self addressed stamped envelope if you want a disk returned or make arrangements to pick it up. Please call 9968018 for more information.
