Calendar Event Complimentary Listing Information
___________

New Development!
.
The calendar of The Discharge PlannerTM will soon be divided into two categories: Professional & Senior Events! Originally, the calendar was mainly focused on senior professional networking events, expos, fundraisers, and professional courses. However, The Discharge Planner is committed to providing all the information California's senior & disabled care professionals, volunteers, and they themselves need.
.
The calendar has gradually expanded to list more and more events, so in order to prevent overcrowding and make it easier for professionals and seniors find what they are looking for we will soon be dividing it into events mainly attended by professionals, such as network meetings and professional courses, and events mainly attended by or targeted to seniors, such as open houses and information sessions.
.
Since we're only starting to do this now, we don't have clear guidelines for what is listed where yet. Please choose which calendar you would like your event to be listed on, but if you think it is equally applicable to both groups, please call our office at (951) 571-7780 to discuss instead of sending an e-mail.

Events Elegible for Complimentary Listing:
.
While basic listings are complimentary, they are at the discretion of the Discharge Planner staff. In general, we're open to any event of interest to seniors, disabled, and care professionals (within reason), so if you're not certain whether or not your event qualifies, please submit it for consideration.
.
Some example categories of events we'd love to have on our calendar:
Network Meetings
Conventions & Expos
Courses for Professionals & Caregivers
Open Houses
Fundraisers
Support Groups
Informational Sessions
Etc.
.
(Please note that basic listings are complimentary, not guaranteed. The Discharge Planner & its staff reserve the right to choose not to list any event for any reason.)

How Listings Will Appear:
.
Listings are sorted first by type onto the two calendars, then listed under the date, generally in order of starting time. In most cases, only the name of the event & the time will be visible on the actual calendar page. The name of the event will be in the color of the county it takes place in, to make it easier for people looking at the calendar to find events in their area.
.
The name will generally be linked either to a page on The Discharge Planner's website with further information (group, type, location, RSVP information, cost, etc.), or to the website of the group or company listing the event. It is The Discharge Planner's policy to only link to the websites of non-profit groups, government agencies, and advertisers.
.
If you are already an advertiser & have an event you would like listed, please call to discuss upgrading your listing to help it stand out. If you are interested in becoming an advertiser and helping to support The Discharge Planner we would love to have you on board, but there is no charge whatsoever for the basic, complimentary listings.
