NETWORK NOTES AND POLICIES
POLICY
REGARDING SUMBISSION OF NOTICES
The DC
Cabaret Network's bi-monthly newsletter moved to a once-a-month schedule in
May. The newsletter will be sent out on the 1st of each month. The
deadline for all submissions will be the 25th of the prior month - no
exceptions. If you miss the deadline, your entry will have to wait until
the following month for inclusion. Thanks to all of you for your support and
understanding. Please send your info to DCCabaretNetwork@hotmail.com
The DC
Cabaret Network is a small organization run on a 100% volunteer basis. We
do the best we can with the resources and information we have. It is our policy
to include, to the best of our ability, all cabaret related notices of our paid
up members. Submission, however, does not guarantee inclusion in the
newsletter. Although we always do the best we can to include the
cabaret-related notices of paid-up members, realities such as mis-delivered email or the timing of submissions may affect
what gets published in a particular edition. Your music-related submissions
must be made to:
dccabaretnetwork@hotmail.com
We reserve
the right to edit, and determine the inclusion of, all submissions. It is the
responsibility of the person submitting the information to proof read the
submission for spelling and correct logistical information.
We will
continue to list, free of charge, upcoming events by out-of-town performers.
The
newsletter update goes out the first of each month, with submissions due by the
25th of the previous month. Please send your submissions (to dccabaretnetwork@hotmail.com)
Inclusion
in the newsletter does not signify a recommendation or endorsement
by the
Network. We do not post events previous to the date of the newsletter.
We do not
post notices for events we know to be sold out. If you have any questions about
our listing policy, please contact us at dccabaretnetwork@hotmail.com or through our
website www.dccabaretnetwork.org
POLICY
REGARDING EDITS TO SUBMISSIONS PUBLISHED IN MULTIPLE EDITIONS OF NEWSLETTER
We gladly
publish notices of paid up members in multiple editions of the newsletter. If
you have a notice published in the newsletter, and the date of the event will
carry the notice into subsequent editions of the newsletter, check your
information frequently and verify it is correct.
We
understand that sometimes plans and arrangements change. If you have a notice
currently published in the newsletter, but need to update or change the
information, re-submit your notice IN FULL (exactly as you’d like it to appear
in the newsletter), including the changes, to dccabaretnetwork@hotmail.com. In a separate
paragraph, specifically point out the changes that you made. We will
cut/paste your updated notice into the newsletter, calling attention to the
changes made. If you have a notice published in the newsletter, and the date of
the event will carry the notice into subsequent editions of the newsletter, and
we do not receive a new/complete submission (as stated above) with changes
specifically pointed out, your notice will appear exactly as before.
