The Facebook workaround : message five to ten friends a day and ask them to 
invite people to that event. Have all other participants do the same. You have 
to nag, the kids these days think putting up a Facebook event is work*.

The long term workaround: build your email list. 

Unpopular truth: if the service is free than you are the product being sold. 

It's a struggle, FB keeps the illusion of convenience, since "everybody's on it 
all the time". But when someone offers to do the work for you, there's usually 
a cost . . .

*my response to this was: really? You ever hung 100+ fliers with staple guns 
only to watch them disappear in a week?
