About Us

The Greenbelt Community Calendar is an online initiative of the Greenbelt News Review.

The Greenbelt Community Calendar was funded with a startup grant from the Greenbelt Community Foundation, with support from the Friends of the New Deal Café (FONDCA). It was created by Greenbelt resident and IT architect Tom Jones.

After a testing phase, the calendar launched November 20, 2014.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is listed here?

The Greenbelt Community Calendar is funded and managed by volunteers for the Greenbelt News Review. Any community event advertised in the News Review will be listed at no charge as long as it is of interest to all (or a major portion of) Greenbelt Residents. In addition, events announced in the News Review will be reviewed for inclusion on an editorial news basis.

How can I add something to the calendar or correct an error?

Submit your event to the News Review as an advertisement or announcement. Each week, volunteers scan the paper’s content to add upcoming events; an advertisement of any size will ensure your event is listed. If an event is newsworthy, you can also send an announcement. See our homepage for info. If our volunteers miss any events meeting the above criteria, please let us know.

Hosting a major Greenbelt event?

In addition, events from regular advertisers are also added in advance as they become available. Major events that will be advertised or announced in the News Review—such as upcoming festivals and annual meetings—may be added up to a year in advance at editorial discretion. Please email your specific, carefully proofread details to Tom Jones:

• event name
• date(s) with start and end time when applicable
• brief description (no more than 45 words)
• event web address
• location
• cost, or confirmation it is a free event, and
• whether it will be advertised in the in the News Review.

Please do not put us on your general mailing list. If you send us bulk emails unrelated to events described above, your messages may be tagged as spam and discarded.
