RESPONSE #64 Networking Advice and Publicity Ideas for Your Event Dear Friend:
1. Thank you for your interest in creating, offering, or learning about more programs, facilities, or opportunities in Kansas City to advance a sense of the sacred in our troubled times. Your constructive efforts deserve applause.
2. I must reduce my role in personal responses to the many worthy networking requests I receive in order to focus on major writing projects and certain other obligations before I croak. Because I am fading into retirement, because we no longer employ paid assistance, and because of a need to simplify our operations, we are no longer able to provide the networking service about which you may be interested.
3. Please check the cc: portion of the email address you have just received from me in case I have sent a copy of your request to a person or agency (one or more) I think might be able to help you.
4. CRES no longer maintains an email list for promotional purposes, as part of our encouraging others to assume the responsibilities we formerly fulfilled. This change occurred when we completed the final program we ourselves offered, Nov 22, 2009. INFORMATION.
5. You might find this list of KC Interfaith Opportunities useful (see section 2.2 although it is somewhat out- of-date). You may also want to contact the folks who maintain various calendars below and the Interfaith Council. Other sections of the CRES web site (try "archives") may provide additional background or leads for you.
6. If you wrote with a suggestion for my KC Star column, please read this.
7. As you'll see below, we no longer maintain a community calendar. We no longer publish our 12-page monthly color journal, MANY PATHS. We no longer maintain a mailing list. We encourage other organizations to provide these or similar services.
8. Thank you for thinking of the many faiths which comprise our community and which can offer insights into the troubling issues and amazing opportunities before us today.
Vern BarnetCALENDARS9. The CRES website Calendar of all community events of multifaith interest was discontinued January 1, 2009 in order to recognize the many wonderful new interfaith groups now able to serve the metropolitan area. Our listing of CRES events ended June 30, 2010. We no longer maintain any calendars. We no longer publicize any events.
CRES continues to emphasize the wisdom of the world's traditions in healing our desacralized culture with the three-fold crises in the environment, in personhood, and in society -- and encourages other organizations to provide calendar service, such as these below:
Cultural Crossroads:
For the monthly emailed calendar:

claudia@boverirealty.comThe Kansas City Star* Faith Calendar:
To submit material to write
faithcal@kcstar.com
at least two weeks before the Saturday publication date.
The faith editor at The Star is Helen Gray, hgray@kcstar.com.*Vern is not a member of The Star staff. He works from home. His column normally concerns interfaith issues. The column is an unliklely place to find announcements about activities primarily of ecumenical or interdenominational interest. Lead time is considerable and columns are often scheduled weeks or even months in advance. For more information about Vern's column, please visit Star Column Idea.
