> Hi there,
> 
> You can put events that will take place in Ithaca on ithacaiscommunity.org (again)! With the help of some coder friends, we fixed one of the two major issues the site was having - the description length. When writing (scribing) your event, the description of the event can only be a max of 100 words long. Keep the description concise! This will help viewers quickly find the events they are able and interested in attending because the distance between each event listing will be minimal. 
> 
> My volunteer vision is that people online go there to find out what is going on in Ithaca and/or promote their own event. Make sure to tell people it exists..and you can link them to your site once they read your event listing. Tompkins County Chamber of Commerce is considering working with IthacaisCommunity to be where they send people online for events...fingers crossed that that happens! This is a locally focused central place for events that can link to a facebook event page or somewhere else from there for more info or to register for the event or etc.. 
> 
> I will promote it only if it includes some effort on your part putting your events on there, and in 2018 I will go back to making a weekly digest of the events and emailing it to people who have intentionally subscribed (right now 100 people are subscribed to get the weekly digest, and 50 people were opening the emails each week. I will start the "newsletter" back up again next Spring.) This is my giving back to a community...anyone is welcome to support the effort via donations on the site. 
> 
> So please spread the word that ithacaiscommunity.org exists,and bookmark this link for putting events in.
> 
> Shoutout to the places that put their events on the site, or allowed organizations and programs to put them there when the site was in operation earlier this year (and a warm welcome back to them all!!): History Center of Tompkins County, Tompkins County Public Library, Island Health and Fitness, Hangar Theatre, Ithaca Community Gardens, Cancer Resource Center, Energy Smart, ICUCME, CCE-Tompkins, Civic Ensemble, GreenStar The Space, GIAC, The Schwartz Center of Performing Arts, The State Theatre, Klarman Hall, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Ithaca Waldorf School, Ahimsa Yoga Studio, La Tourelle, The Commons, Franziska Racker Center, Triphammer Marketplace, WVBR, Tompkins County Mental Health Building, A.D.
