Editorial Policies for What’s Happening at Quail Creek
April 2012

What's Happening at Quail Creek is an alerting service. It notifies residents about new events and changes to ongoing Quail Creek events and procedures. It also provides periodic reminders about those events and changes. It is not a bulletin board with notices about all current activities. The QC web site is that bulletin board. What's Happening at Quail Creek contains a link to the Quail Creek web site.

What's Happening at Quail Creek contains announcements about events in, or news about, Quail Creek facilities. What's Happening at Quail Creek is not obligated to publish announcements on behalf of religious, political, fraternal, or any other group governed by entities outside of Quail Creek. Announcements from governmental entities, community assistance programs, or charitable organizations may be published if, in the opinion of the Quail Creek Communications Committee, they have the potential to broadly affect Quail Creek residents. Unless noted below, other announcements and links are not published in What's Happening at Quail Creek.

Special events conducted by businesses and held in Quail Creek facilities or sponsored by the Quail Creek Country Club, or any other POA group, are also announced. Special events are events that occur only once or on an irregular schedule.

Concert or lecture series sponsored by the Quail Creek Country Club, or any other POA group, are announced as a series with the details on the QC web site. Short reminders about the series may appear in What's Happening at Quail Creek prior to individual parts of the series.

Each of Quail Creek’s many clubs and activities can have a page on the Quail Creek website in which all of their events and classes are announced. Special events sponsored by clubs and activities are announced in What's Happening at Quail Creek. Occasional (e.g., seasonal) summaries of groups of ongoing activities may be announced in lieu of announcements of each individual activity. Updates to club pages are published as one-line notices.

Information about ongoing services provided to the Quail Creek community by businesses using Quail Creek facilities are found in the Facilities pages on the Quail Creek web site. Periodic reminders about those web pages (but not about the specific businesses) are announced in What's Happening at Quail Creek. Information about other commercial activity can reach the Quail Creek community in classified advertisements. See the policy for classifieds on the Quail Creek website.

Information about community and governmental services can be found in the Community and Governmental Services pages on the Quail Creek website. Periodic reminders about those web pages (but not about the specific services) are announced in What's Happening at Quail Creek.

During election years, as a public service, presentations in Quail Creek facilities by declared candidates for office or speakers who address ballot issues will be announced in a feature called "Election 20xx." Notices of such presentations will appear in a lead announcement in What's Happening at Quail Creek and will be published Mondays and Fridays only. As appropriate, these notices will include the speaker's name, party, office or ballot issue, date, time, and place. Such notices will be published in lieu of regular announcements or reminders. Presentations in Quail Creek facilities by sitting elected officials will be advertised by regular announcements.

To offset the cost of the Quail Creek website and publication of What's Happening at Quail Creek, the daily email bulletin will contain brief announcements of paid classified ads. All such ad summaries will appear at the bottom of What's Happening in a separate "Classified Ads" section; each day one summary will be featured at the top of What's Happening. Each summary will be linked to the full ad, either on the Quail Creek website or the advertiser's external website.

These policies may be modified by the Quail Creek POA Board, at any time in its sole discretion.
