announcements announcement

[Guest guest]

I'm going to address the announcement issue we had a few weeks ago. These are

the

rules. Yes, you can announce your own upcoming lectures but with a few

restrictions.

 

1- they must be hand written, as it were, by you. Tell us, CHA, that you are

doing

something in the same way you normally post. This means don't send your standard

release that you send out in masse to your students, schools etc...

2- Only acupuncture and herbal medicine. Please no Taichi and Qigong, essential

oils

etc...

3- give a clear contact website or number for furthur information but please

don't list the

prices, nor the hours, syllabus for the class etc...

4- Posts can only be by long and good-standing CHA members. (in other words we

want

to know you a little before you post your announcement)

5- the purpose of these notices is to tell us, your cyber-friends, what you are

up to and if

members happen to be in the area might want to go.

6- Put your own email address on for questions (this must be formatted as

sonandso AT

mywebsite.com to get around the formatting restrictions on email

addresses). Also

other member try not to respond to the notices on CHA unless they are of

interest to the

CHA community. Contact the individual first.

 

I think this is clear yet flexible and fair. I also believe CHA members, if they

knew what has

gone on behind the CHA curtain, would appreciate it. Often we have gotten new

members

who also happen to be affiliated with large enterprises and then get bombarded

with

notices about their seminars.

 

I'm sorry, Ross, if you got caught in the middle of the cross fire of our

policies. Bob, if you

would like to do the same under the above rules that is fine also. I know you

are going to

be in Los Angeles this weekend. Unfortunately, I don't think I can make it but

if you see a

really tall, handsome guy in the back of the room, well that's me. :-)
