  • 3 Ways to Add Listings

  • Help Out
  1. Email Us. Send us an email with the event information.
  2. Add Events Yourself.
  3. Automatically Integrate Your Calendar. If you maintain a public calendar on one of these platforms [Meetup, Eventbrite, Google Calendar, iCalendar], we may be able to import your events weekly.  Contact Us.

Adding Events: You can add events manually, via email, or using our automatic sync tool.  Manual entry gives you the most control and fastest turnaround. 

Manual Entry
  • Prepare. There is no save-and-resume button. Once you submit an event, it comes to us for review.  You can return to edit an event, but you should understand that may post to the calendar once you click submit.
  • Recurring Events. A powerful feature, but a little confusing the first time you use it because of the wording used:
    • To enter a meeting on the same date each month (e.g., the 5th), select "on the same day".
    • To enter a meeting on the same day (e.g., 1st Monday), select "on a different day".
  • Venues / Organizers.  Enter the name of the organizer(s) and the location (venue).
    • If it is already in the database, the calendar will populate your event with relevant contact and location information.
    • If you have to add a new organizer or venue, please fill in all the fields.  It will help others.
  • Online Events. Select "Online Event" as your Venue.

Additional Fields. It may be tempting to skip them, but we suggest that you take a moment to complete :

  • Target Audience: Check a box that best describes who an event is designed for. DO NOT check all the boxes.   Example: if you have an event for the LGBTQ community, don't check all the LGBTQ options.  Just check LGBTQ community.  In general, you should check no more than 1-3 boxes.
  • Event Focus: Why is someone coming to your event?  What should they hope to get out of it?
  • Welcoming Pages: In phase 2, we will be launching a collection of welcoming pages.   If your event is relevant to one of these, check the box.  Your event will also appear on that page.
Other Ways to Add Events
  • Email: You can send us a link to a Facebook event.  We will add it to the calendar to the best of our understanding.  However, we make no guarantees about accuracy and turnaround.  The request must come from someone registered on our site who has made a few manual entries.  Send a request and link to VCtrAdmin@BlueRidgePride.org.  
  • Synchronization: If you maintain a calendar on Meetup, Google, Eventbrite, or iCalendar, we have the ability to automatically post your events.  However, this is limited to an automated weekly feed of everything in that calendar.  You will also have to rely on our judgment when it comes to tagging the event.  Contact VCtrAdmin@BlueRidgePride.org to discuss.
We reserve the right to review, edit, and remove any content posted to this site. We focus on the following standards:
  • Relevant to our local LGBTQ+ community. This includes WNC and nearby communities. It also includes groups based outside the region that have a local presence and virtual events of local interest.
  • No offensive or hateful content. This includes language and visuals that are considered hateful, threatening or inappropriately graphic.  Bear in mind that this site is accessible to minors.
  • No content that poses a threat to people's privacy or to copyright laws. Do not share names, photos or contact information without appropriate authorization or consent.
  • Volunteer. Volunteer 2-4 hours a week to help maintain our listings. Visit Volunteer Opportunities.

Siljoy Maurer

Holistic Perspectives P.O. Box 333, Enka, NC 2872  Phone: (828) 333-0103  | siljoy@me.com or  www.HolisticPerspectives.com For many years now I have been mentoring men and women from all walks of life. It continues to be my greatest joy to accompany someone from “just being ok” into thriving! As a Mentor & Healer I partner with my clients in creating authenticity, wellness and deep contentment, in whatever area of their lives they are seeking change. The combination of giving very practical, livable tools for direct “next steps” while “holding the big picture” and then manifesting that big picture often feels like this: a new client brings me their life or life situation in a jigsaw puzzle box, they lost the lid and forgot what the picture on it looked like. I am good at knowing that picture and then guiding my clients/mentees to put all the puzzle pieces together.
