GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPER SUBMISSION
1.
FREE
for non-profit groups: Profit groups are invited
to email us for rates.
2. Singles activities only: please only submit activities that are for singles only. Do not submit something like Faith Hill to
Sing at Kemper unless your singles group is going to the event and willing for other singles to go with your group.
3. The deadline: none, just submit it when convenient.
4. Limit/month: 3 major open events (open to singles outside your group)
5. Please submit in paragraph form: use upper/lower case, plain (no bold or italics) 10 or 12 pt., Times Roman, black on white (no colored ink or background). This will enable us to simply copy and paste without having to rearrange, resize, refont, or reformat your submission so that it conforms to the other submissions. Again, if your material is not submitted according to these specs, it will be returned for corrections which may delay it beyond the deadline date and cause it not to be used. Please DO NOT simply send us a brochure and expect us to create the paragraph for you.
6. Proof your work before sending: One of the biggest mistakes people make when submitting material via email is not to proof their work for clarity and typos before sending it. You do not want inaccurate information, wrong addresses, or typos in your submission. And we don't want to have to go back in and correct the work once it's been posted. So, please, please, double check your work and even have someone else do so as well before sending it in for posting. Thanks!

are happy to post your seminar and dance information on their
appropriate pages in
exchange for two passes to said event. This publicity should
bring you more people so you shouldn't mind swapping a few passes for the event.
To get listed, email Don Davidson your seminar or dance information using the same basic Major Activity format above. Then mail passes to Don Davidson, Box 27222, Overland Park, KS 66225. Your listing will be posted once the passes are received. If Don is able to attend your function, that will help him better promote your activities in the future at his seminars. If he is not able to personally to use the passes, he will try to give them away as prizes at his singles seminars or other venues.

Major Activities and Singles Groups in KC.

Then once a month you could email us all your activities and we will copy and paste them on your page. Note: your submission needs to be letter perfect inasmuch as we don't do any editing; we only copy and paste what you send us.

Under this plan here's what we would do for you:
1. We would
create a web page that you could call
your own. It would have a heading that
never changes that contains only one graphic or
logo.
2. Below the heading we would post your activities and notices one a monthly basis.
Example: go to www.singlesmall.com/diplomats.html.
Special offer: the cost for this is normally $100/yr. but will be discounted to $50/yr. for all groups that send us their payment by March 1, 2004.
To get started: send us an email and include your name, phone number and the name of your singles group. We'll respond promptly so we can get your page up as soon as possible.
This option is great for those groups that don't have their own web sites but who would like to have their information on the web. We will post your link on several pages on the Kansas City division of the SinglesMall so people can find you.
