Publicity
Outlets and contacts for publicizing activities and events
- The Needham Community Council has established an on-line Community Calendar on their website. The goal is to have a centralized calendar for a majority of community events—as a source of ready information about Needham activities, and as a way to check planned events for potential conflicts. If you have any questions call or e-mail Sandra Robinson, Director of the Community Council, at 781-444-2415.

Beyond Needham
- MCAN Monthly Newsletter - sent out mid-month, reaches about 3,200 mail addresses
- Coordinated by Susan Altman at MCAN, also reachable at 781 395-4664
- Would like to hear from a range of MCAN chapters, particularly smaller groups
- Notes on suitable items for the MCAN newsletter from Susan:
- Events you are planning that are related to climate change (that's a broad brush) and are appropriate for a regional audience: For example, with a big name speaker, or that several communities are collaborating on, and that are being held in a location that can accommodate a large number of people.
- Accomplishments by your group, your community, or specific individuals that relate to climate change advocacy, policy, energy efficiency and conservation, behavior change, education, etc.
