Step 3

March**

** remember this this is only a guide with a suggested guideline. Some types of community events take longer to plan, and some come together faster. It's never too late to plan an event in your community. Get in touch with your State Coordinator and start today. Start at Step 1 here>>

Tasks

1. Follow up with Government officials requesting space and time for the observance.

2. Plan your media campaign. Check out media resources here and here. You can hear the spots on the Countdown CD from the Hear Today's Radio Message on the home page or click here. If your budget allows consider using a billboard. Sometimes billboard space is donated for this use. See billboard art here.

3. Firm up your program and speaker committments. Consider assigning topics for prayer and draft a tentative agenda. You can use the 2008 NDP Prayer Guide or info from 7X7.

4. Are there any technical issues with the space you are using for the event? Permits, options for inclement weather, parking, permits, insurance? If you have questions about these issues, contact your state coordinator for guidance.

5. Meet with your planning committee weekly during this month.

6. Post your event on the event page using the new "Post New Event" link.
