Sounds like a good idea. I've passed it onto FoCP's Publicity chair.

meeting in uc review:

"If you miss the Monday Noon Editorial Deadline for
Almanac listings, please enter your event yourself,
day or night, on our online calendars at www.ucreview.com
and www.wwwklypress.com!"
Neighbors,
This Monday night post shows it all. This pretense is too late. The
refusal of the FOCP to announce tonight's meeting 3 WEEKS AGO is no longer
to be blamed on the editor of the UC Review. The newly appointed board
member/publicity chairman for FOCP has been set up as "the fall guy."
As Ross pointed out, the FOCP long-term leadership has failed to include in
the new by-laws the requirement to publicly announce meetings "at least 10
days in advance" in the local paper. So there is no written record of the
member's wishes/requirement. Since November, the FOCP leadership has been
"unable" to successfully place an announcement in the UC Review while
ignoring the discussion of making "public" announcements, accountability,
and transparency.
Sending this post to a public listserv after the last possible chance for
the NEW chairman to meet the announcement deadline is simply inexcusable.
Doesn't Mr. West understand newspaper deadlines?
I spoke with the new FOCP publicity chairman in the park over a week ago.
When I asked this person some questions, I discovered that this person had
been asking, "what am I to do?" It is simply inexcusable to pretend that
this refusal to announce meetings to the community is the fault of this new
person. It's inexcusable to give anyone a job without guidelines and set
them up to fail to provide a cover.
It's absurd to pretend that none of the long- term leaders could figure out
how to announce meetings properly since November. THERE WAS NO MISTAKE AND
THERE IS NO EXCUSE. This set up of an individual neighbor is DISGUSTING. The
member's requirements are irrelevant to the FOCP leadership.
Had the new by-laws not ignored the membership requirements, it would be
clear that tonight's meeting would not be valid because of improper
announcement.
