- The Event Flyer if applicable is usually a pdf, but any photo format acceptable: (jpg, png, gif). Word documents also (.docx). Note: You no longer need to include the source text for a flyer as it is entered into the event listing form.

- Complete dinner information if there is food involved. Meals types (eg fish or ribs) and PRICE for each, even if pay at the bar.

- Ticketing - you must create at least one ticket for an event! ​

Our reservation system depends upon having at least one ticket for an event. You will need to create these tickets so that folks can register for the event.

* For dinners, there is usually one ticket per dinner item. IE a ticket for Fish, a ticket for Steak, and one for Salad is an example of three tickets for three meal types.

​* If your tickets are pay at the bar, the price will be $0. However, you need to show the price somewhere, and that is usually in the description.

* If you are including dinner in a party price, then you will have a ticket for "Dinner and Party" with the price (ie $45 or whatever). Parties allow non dinner folks, so have a ticket "Party Only" for a price that subtracts the meal. In the $45 example, say the meal cost is $25, then the party only price is $20.

* If you are an RSVP event (meaning all you need is a reservation and registration), just have one ticket with the event name and $0 for the price.

- All dates, times, any cutoff dates, limited sales, etc. Some events are limited to a number of people. Others might have a specific cutoff time where no more tickets are sold.

- NEVER HAVE "Details to Follow"! Complete the event beforehand! Thank you!!!
