Sharing Post

Greetings! Here is the Sharing Post for the month of January 2012. There will be changes very soon in how the Sharing Post will be shared. In the meantime, our deadline for the February 2012 edition will be Friday, Feb 15. We will send updates in how our Sharing Post will be handled soon in a future email and/or through our Facebook group and page. Until the new procedures are posted, please abide by the current guidelines.

The current Sharing Post Guidelines are posted at the end of this message – Please save the guidelines for future reference.

HEARTS for Families is looking to begin two new Nurturing God’s Way parenting programs at the Lee Arrendale State Prison for women in January and we are looking for donations to be able to supply 60 inmates with a parenting handbook that will allow them to participate in the 6 month program.  Once the inmate has completed the program they are then allowed to use the facility’s Children Center to be able to actively interact with their children.  Please contact Diana Bray for more information and how to help!

Sharing Post Guidelines
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

 Here are the current guidelines for submission of items to be sent through this feature – Please save these guidelines for future reference. Note that our procedures for the Sharing Post will soon change. We will communicate those changes in a future email and/or through our Facebook group and page. Until then, please abide by these posted guidelines. 

We currently send out the Sharing Post once a month generally between the 20th and 25th of the month. All items submitted must be received by the 15th of each month to make it in that month’s Sharing Post transmission. Otherwise, it will go out in the Sharing Post for the next month (we will also share information through our Facebook group and page). Please keep that in mind when you send us your information to share – particularly if your news is time-sensitive.

These guidelines are in place to simplify things for our volunteers and partners. Please adhere to these guidelines if you want your information shared through this feature.

• The Sharing Post is a CFP Partner benefit. Even though we will now be sending Sharing Post info to EVERYONE on our email list, only CFP Partner organizations are able to share their info through this feature. We will check affiliate status with every submission. If your status with CFP is not current, we will not forward your information.
• To include an item for submission, please send your information to us at info@cobbfaithpartnership.org with the words “Sharing Post” (without the quotes) in the subject of your message.
• All submissions should be in a plain text-ready format, and the text should be simply copied and pasted in your email message. NO ATTACHMENTS PLEASE.
• **Please keep your submissions to 300 words or less ** (which equals a couple of paragraphs).
• Please do not include fancy formatting or pictures.
• Please do not send PDF or Publisher documents from which the info cannot be readily copied and pasted.
• Please be considerate of others and only submit one item per posting period. We may re-run your item if you send it early enough, but we will not run 2 or more items in the same publication.
• For routine items that are time-sensitive, please adhere to our lead-time of sending your info to us so we receive it by the deadline posted above which is usually no later than the 15th of each month… and of course the earlier you send to us, the better. If an item is of an emergency or urgent nature, we will do our best to send out the information as an Emergency Request, but we cannot make any promises. Please do not ask for any exceptions, and please limit these requests to actual emergency situations!
• INDIVIDUAL OR OTHERS: Please do not send us requests for churches, ministries, or organizations which are not CFP Partners. Rather, we encourage you to reach out to those groups and convince them to join CFP so they can take advantage of all the benefits of CFP Affiliation. Individual partners who want to post items for non-member groups they represent need to consider upgrading their status to a Organization Partnership.

Items are sent at the discretion of the Communications Team. Anything sent through our Sharing Post feature should not be considered as an endorsement – either expressed or implied – by CFP. We also reserve the right to reject any posts we deem offensive or that do not support the purposes of CFP. We will not retype anything you send, so if we cannot easily copy and paste in our email program, we will not send it out.  We cannot be held responsible for missing posts or non-receipt of posts. Be sure to send them to info@cobbfaithpartnership.org and include “Sharing Post” in the subject line to make sure your message is not weeded out as SPAM.

We look forward to serving you. Thanks as always for your support.
