Years ago, when I was community programs coordinator at the Plainfield Public Library and working on the ATT-funded 'New Audiences for Plainfield' cultural planning project, one of the things that everyone wanted was a community events calendar.
This was in the infancy of the Internet, and the highest tech option available was a sort of kinder, gentler 'phone tree from hell' where callers would navigate voice prompts to obtain information on upcoming cultural activities in the community.
The project foundered, not over the technology, but because it was so cumbersome to get organizers to get the information in on a timely basis.
Fast forward ten years . . . the web has become the air which we breathe, and there are online calendar products that will make the job much easier -- basically, putting producers of events in the driver's seat.
I have developed a prototype Plainfield Events calendar that is just about ready for prime time.
Use this link to send me an email with details of any event you wish to have posted and I'll put it up.
Stay tuned for the launch announce.
