Posting your event to the newsletter, email list, and web site

When you are ready to publicize your event, there are several methods the club has for getting information to its members. We have a newsletter, and email list, the web site, and special postcard mailings.

To automatically insert your event information into the newsletter, the email list, and the web site, post your event information to:

http://bostonclub.mit.edu/events/postevent.html

The only tricky part to the form is the "RSVP Information" section. Make sure to select a realistic RSVP deadline, one which is not too early to miss the late registrants, and one that is not too late you can't plan for a flood of registrants at the last minute.

If you created a SmarTrans event, put the SmarTrans eventID number that you wrote down earlier into the "SmarTrans Tag" field.

If you created an Evite for the event, put in the "Evite Tag" that you put into the Privacy Options field.

If you created an Evite for the event under your own account and didn't transfer the ownership to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , then put your Evite account name (your email address) in the "Evite Account" field.

If you did the above but forgot the tags, please complete the form and submit it; all the tag information can be added later.

If the event is less than 22 days away, an event blurb will automatically get published in that week's eNews. We are working now on getting a list of events further out in every week's eNews, but that has not yet been implemented.

Directions and Parking

Make sure you obtain accurate directions to your event (usually this is not necessary within MIT).

If the event is at MIT, you may also want to post information on where to park.
