Calendar of Events

  Updated:  April 14, 2007 (more events to be posted)

Message from the Webmaster

This events Calendar is a public resource for upcoming Capital District meetings, conferences, hearings, forums and special events sponsored by other non profit agencies that work with people with disabilities and seniors.  Preference will be shown to those agencies/events promoting transportation for people with disabilities as we have limited space.  We are willing though to list other events for people with disabilities. CDCAT reserves the right to determine final submissions to this calendar. Se bottom of page for submission instructions.

Note: It's been difficult keeping this up to date with all the other things we are working on. We are looking for a volunteer to help with this. Please let us know if you're interested by emailing advocate@mobilityfreedom.org. Thanks!

1.  Events must be in the Capital District area for sometime in the current year.  We will take next year listings beginning October of the current year.

2. Make sure your event information is COMPLETE and in "camera ready" format so that we may simply cut and paste it to the calendar.

3.  Title the subject of your email: Link Request.  If you do not do this, your listing may be delayed or not received.

4.  Complete information on your event includes: Date, time, place, cost if any, and a small paragraph limited to 100 words with information about your event.  Include a contact person, phone number and your web link/public email address so that the public has contact information.

5. We will not take calls for non CDCAT events from anyone. You must list a phone number for contact information.

If you do not follow all of the above instructions, your event may not be listed. We have limited time and resources as volunteers and can not put excessive time into calendar maintenance.
