How to Submit an Event
Send us the details of an event and we’ll add it to the calendar. We accept submissions in either of two styles — whichever is easiest for you. Both formats end up in the same place.
Five W’s — and sometimes the H
Whichever format you choose, please tell us as much of the following as you know. Title and date/time are required; the rest help us write a good calendar entry.
- What — the name of the event (required).
- When — date and time, including end time if known (required).
- Where — lodge, temple, or address.
- Who — the host lodge, valley, district, or organization.
- Why — the purpose or occasion.
- How — logistics: dress code, RSVP, what to bring, arrival time.
Option 1 — Free-form
Just describe the event the way you would in an email or a flyer. A sentence or two is plenty. Here’s a real example:
Join us at the Houston Masonic Temple on Tuesday, May 12, 2026
at 7:30pm for the monthly stated meeting of Houston Lodge No. 1.
We'll read the minutes, hold balloting, and refreshments will be
served afterward. Should wrap up by 9.We can pick out the title, date, location, and details from prose like this. The shorter, the better — but don’t leave out anything important.
Option 2 — Structured
If you’d rather be explicit, give us one field per line in
Key: value form. Order doesn’t matter, and any
field you don’t know can be left out:
What: Stated Meeting — Houston Lodge No. 1
When: 2026-05-12 7:30 PM – 9:00 PM
Where: Houston Masonic Temple, 4220 Hutchins St.
Who: Houston Lodge No. 1

How: Refreshments served after closing.
Category: stated
Recognized keys: What, When,
