ADVERTISING YOUR SHOW from Carolyn Weinberger, Editor, EFMLS Newsletter From EFMLS Newsletter, 10/04 In recent months I’ve had several inquiries from Eastern Federation clubs asking for a list of hobby related publications that have a calendar of events that can be used to publicize club shows and swaps. Here’s the list which I have. Remember, most of these publications have a 3 - 4 month “lead time” so you’ll have to get your information in to them early enough to meet their deadline.
