Calendar Guidelines

Lets set some ground rules . Each calendar should not be too cluttered; that's the advantage of having multiple calendars. Users can choose to turn off calendars but we still should be careful about posting events in too many places. Your cooperation in not spamming the calendars is appreciated!

Here's the concept: Events should go only where they logically belong. EX. A small picnic in Coon Rapids broadcast on every calendar is unlikely to be attended by folks from Burnsville. Your SD calendar would be fine and perhaps a few SDs near yours but it may not belong on the CD3 calendar. The exception might be for your annual SD fundraiser.


General Interest
This calendar is likely to have the largest number of entries. It includes non-DFL events related to political and social issues.

Forums, Movies, Speeches and Documentaries on political and social issues
Non DFL education and training events
Issue organization meetings
Parades, festivals, and fairs with opportunities for DFL and candidate visibility
Non CD3/SD Dinners
Rallies for progressive groups
Statewide events

CD3 Calendar
These should be events appropriate to the entire CD. Keep phone banks and doorknocks off this calendar unless they are truly CD-wide.
