- Event Planning Guidelines -

Note that these are not absolute rules, but are intended to make sure that the events are well coordinated and well attended.

  • Plan your event as far in advance as possible. I know, it's hard to plan far ahead, but doing so gives people plenty of time to schedule time off, tell their sister they're not going to her birthday party, whatever.

  • Use the Yahoo! Groups calendar to keep track of events. When you've announced an event, add it to the calendar. When you are scheduling an event, look at the calendar to make sure that there aren't any conflicting events. The URL is: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/baneon/calendar

  • Once you've decided on a time and place for an event, send an announcement to the group. It should contain at least the following information:
         - What the event is
         - What day and time the event is being held
         - Where it is being held, with address and/or directions
         - Any costs associated with the event
         - And a way to get ahold of you on the day of the event (i.e., cell phone)
