Advertising in the "Calendar Events" section of TFH is free. It's part of
their "Meeting Place" column which features aquarium society news. We are
already listed under "General Notices." The format is as follows:
3 -5 November 2000
Chattanooga, TN
The Aquatic Gardeners Association presents (or something
similar).....
The name of the oganization needs to appear first. All you need to do is
e-mail the notice to Mary Sweeney, editor of TFH at: editor@tfh.com. She
is in charge of "Meeting Place." I would ask for an acknowledgement. IMO
this is the most important place to advertise because I think a lot of
hobbyists regularly check this listing. Deadline: the end of the month.
We have a paid ad in AFM already under "Aquarium Societies." I could ask
them if they would be willing to change the ad for a few months. Providing
the change is made by the end of the month, it would appear in the August
issue which comes out sometime in July. Points of information. Not many
societies advertise in AFM I would imagine due to the high advertising rates
as compared to FAMA and of course TFH which is free. NEC doesn't advertise
in AFM. In any event, it doesn't matter to me. If the group wants me to
inquire about a change for 2 or 3 months, I will do so. I need to know how
many months you want the changes for.
In FAMA, we are listed under "Specialty Societies" which is free, but only
basic information about the group can be listed here. I happen to have an
old Oct. '98 issue. There is "Reader's Exchange" (classified ads) which
has a "Hobbyist Listing" in which events are listed. It cost $.25 a word to
advertise here at that time. I also saw some show announcements above the
advertising coupon. I suggest that a current FAMA subscriber take charge of
the FAMA advertising. There is an advertising coupon which needs to be
filled out should we decide to advertise in the classifieds and you must pay
in advance which of course would be reimbursed.
I know for sure that TFH and AFM have a three month lead time. I would
think FAMA does as well.
Should I put it in some of the plant magazines (pond

It depends. If it's free, why not? But I wouldn't pay to advertise in a
magazine which really doesn't target our audience. TFH is the only magazine
listed above which has a calendar of events.
