Welcome to Columbia Magazine  
 



































 
During the night, the Events Calendar has been updated for September 2012

Recurrent meetings have been posted, for the most part. We invite all organizations to check the events list for any additions which may need to be made.

If your organization's events are not in ColumbiaMagazine.com Events, please send as soon as possible.

Thanks to everyone for the wonderful response we've gotten to appeals to submit Events in our format. A special thanks to Mike Bennett of the Gradyville Baptist Church for helping us come up with extremely simple Copycat Editing system for faster posts.

Mr. Bennett simply copies the last post edited by CM and cuts and pastes for the next one. We can then do our job in less than one-quarter the time it takes us to rewrite, call or email for help, or, in a worse case scenario - have to lay the story aside.

The way the Gradyville Baptist Church does it, their submissions go to the top of the queue! - just in case anyone wonders how we post so much news from the re-emerging congregation.



Thanks also to the teachers in the Adair County Schools for adopting the plan. We'd also note how pleased we are with the Lindsy Wilson, Campbellsville University, the Adair County Golf teams and others who do it right: Compose the Events listings, to our standards First.

There are a few more tips: Please include the answers to the 5W's and an H, as in this checklist:
  • Who? Who was involved?
  • What? What is happening (what is the story)?
  • When? When does it take place?
  • Where? Where is the venue: Name of location, Street Number, Street, City, State.
  • Why? Why will it happen? What is the purpose?
  • How? How does it happen? For this, tell whether it is a public event or for members only, whether it is free or there is an admission
For fastest posting, submit news in full sentence, paragraph form, using ColumbiaMagazine.com format and sequence:
  • Dates Example: February 26, 2010
  • TIme Example: 6pmCT or 7pmET/6pmCT
  • Address Example: First Church, 777 Elm AV, Columbia, KY
  • Phone Number: (270) 380-2222
A completed submission might read:
Glory singers at First Church, Sun., Feb. 28, 2010
Glory Singers, Burkesville, KY, will be in concert at First Church, 777 Elm AV, Columbia, KY, at 10:30amCT, Sunday, February 28, 2010. Pastor Bro. Bob and congregation welcome all to join us. Bro. Bob Roberts
Events submissions submitted as flyers are considered ads. Events submissions submitted in formats other than those submitted in full sentence, paragraph form, using ColumbiaMagazine.com format and sequence, may be considered advertising.

For quickest posts, please send all information in one email and include contact information. If additional information is asked for, please include in one new email with all information. Please send in caps and lower case. All caps submissions may be returned.Please remember that while ColumbiaMagazine.com offers the most comprehensive announcement package, free, of any media, events may be posted only if the venue includes Street No. and Street Name. Directions are not posted. If there is a charge you may be notified that the event is advertising. And, If it is advertising on any media, it is considered advertising on ColumbiaMagazine.
