READ EVERYTHING BEFORE Sending an Event

If you do not follow the rules your event will NOT be posted in the calendar. The Car Club Council of Central Virginia posts events FREE of charge. We ask that you follow the rules so we are not embarrassed by misspelled words and grammar errors in order that the calendar is updated properly and promptly. The calendar gets a lot of traffic.

Send all events by EMAIL ONLY to fredfann@comcast.net or fredfann@hotmail.com. No event information will be taken by phone, texting or by mailing – EMAIL ONLY. Do not wait until the last minute – send events in as soon as possible and at least 14 days before the event - the sooner it is posted the better as events are listed by date and order received.

This is the proper format. We accept TEXT only, no images or flyers; do not type in all capitols. All events need to be in this format to be posted in the calendar.

Month Day – Name of Event sponsored by Name of Club/Sponsor, event location, event times, 2 or 3 sentences describing the event. Contact person name with phone and/or email. Website for event if there is one.
