Help me help you!
Thanks to everyone for all the great tips on fab events going on around town.
I really do want to help you get the word out, so please follow some simple guidelines. I need basic information like time and date, location, ticket price, attire, names of the chairs and committee members, the charity your event benefits if applicable, a few details about the bash and a number or Web site for more information.
If I didn’t make it to your soiree, please feel free to send pix and a brief recap. Tell me when and where it was, some of the folks who came, some highlights and how much you raised for charity, if it was a philanthropic endeavor.
If you send a photo include the identification of everyone in the picture from left to right and - this is important - the name of the photographer.
Do me a favor, y’all, and don’t put things in ALL CAPS. When you’re sending a list of people, like members of a host committee, put their names in alphabetical order. Helps me keep everyone straight.
Some of y’all are working too hard. I’m worried about you. If you find yourself compiling a nine-page release or preparing to email a slew of PDF attachments, rest your fingers and collect yourself. Then send just the essentials!
