Or even the day AFTER a couple of times.
I'm a member of a group that periodically has web get-togethers. The
webmaster posts the
schedule once a month. He sends out an announcement a week before for
major events.
He sends out a notice the day of (since it is an online thing, that's
not too late). Then he
sends out a notice when the event starts. It is alot of work since,
AFAIK, he doesn't
do any scripting. That is perfect for me. I can plan it in weeks ahead.
I get a reminder
that it is coming up in a few days and then a reminder that it is on
that day.
That is alot of work though. Just a notice a week in advance would be
nice. I've seen
several events I would have been interested in attending. (And I'm not
generally an
attending person.) But, a few hours notice, or even a day, just isn't
enough time for me.
