HOW TO GET YOUR PROGRAM STARTED
(Revised August 12, 2010)
If you are interested in organizing a Life Span Program or other event at MUF, please put together a short description of your event and include your name, email, and telephone number for participants to call if they are interested. Send the description to Austen Petersen.
Someone from the LifeSpan Learning Committee will contact you and then you can request a room and start publicizing your program.
To request a room: Fill out a room reservation form and place the hard copy in the administrator’s mailbox at the Fellowship. The form is available in the Members Only section of the Fellowship’s website at www.muuf.org or find the form in the Copy Room at MUF on a rack hanging on the right wall. Or you can call the office and talk to the administrator or send an email at admin@muuf.org. No program should be publicized until you have confirmed the room reservation first.
Procedure If You Are Collecting Fees
Registrations and/or fees collected for programming is the responsibility of the facilitator/organizer of the program. Fees collected need to be put in the drop-safe in the Copy Room each evening. Do not hold onto the money or bring it home. In the best interest of our policy, count the money with one other person. (If fees are for supplies that the organizer provides, then the organizer of the event will keep the money collected.)
Fill out a Deposit Slip as follows:
Deposit date
Deposited by
Committee/Organization/Group – Life Span Learning Committee or whatever organization you are representing.
Purpose of Deposit – put in the name of your program
Amount
Account to credit – do not fill in.
How To Publicize Your Program
To get an item in the monthly newsletter: Submit it to Pratik Mamtora at pratikmantora@yahoo.co.uk by the 15 th of the month for the following month’s edition (e.g., by February 15 for the March newsletter).
To get an item in the bimonthly Lifespan Learning brochure: Submit it to Danelle Simonelli at dksimonelli@hotmail.com. The deadline is also the 15 th of the month, but for the following two months (e.g., by February 15 for the March-April brochure), so please think ahead.
To get an item in What’s Happening in the Sunday bulletin: Submit it to Office Administrator at admin@muuf.org by 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday for the following Sunday (e.g., by February 3 for the February 7 bulletin). Note that What’s Happening blubs should be as brief as possible – don’t submit the same long description as you would for the newsletter, but edit it down to the bare bones.
To have an announcement made verbally on Sunday morning: Submit it to the Office Administrator at admin@muuf.org by 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday for the following Sunday. We try to limit announcements to the most urgent items only, so please use this method sparingly.
To get an item posted on the MUF website: Normally our webmaster transfers information from the newsletter, brochure, and What’s Happening onto the website. To add something not in those publications or to make a change, submit it to Hazel Bell at webmaster@muuf.org.
