Your Meetups are hitting the calendar sections of your local papers… and it's ALL GOOD!
Most newspapers include a weekly calendar of community events. It usually costs nothing to announce an upcoming event, and this is can be a very effective way to promote your Meetup Group. Call your local paper to learn how to submit a listing for your next Meetup.
