PURPOSE
The Community Calendar is designed to list activities and events which are of interest to a wide audience from throughout the community, or those activities and events which serve to promote the area itself. This is interpreted to mean that an event should be of interest to a cross section of individuals, which goes beyond the organization’s membership, and is likely to attract a reasonably large group of participants.

EXAMPLES
The types of events that would be suitable for the Calendar include:

• Major fund-raising events for non-profit organizations (Dinner Dances, Banquets, Annual Meetings, Carnivals, etc.)
• Significant Entertainment Events (Community Arts Concerts, College/University Theatrical Productions, etc.)
• Significant Activities (Kiwanis Pancake Festival, Lakeland Derby, etc.)
• Community Events important to scheduling

The types of events that would not be suitable might include the following:

• Yard and Garage Sales
• Weekly Bingo Sessions
• Small group activities (hoagie sales, pizza sales, car washes, etc.)
• Regular Monthly meetings of any group
• Events which would likely attract only those who are deeply involved with the organization
• Fundraising meals (Chicken & Waffles, Spaghetti Supper, etc.)

MEMBER VALUE

Chamber members are permitted to include one event each month on the Members Only calendar. This space is suitable for:

• Open Houses
• Grand openings
• Workshops
• Block Parties

Sales and friends and family events are not appropriate for the Members Only calendar.

The Chamber will be the ultimate authority on which events are posted on the calendar, and which are rejected. And, The Chamber reserves the right to accept or reject any and all proposed activities.
