A new calendar, developed by the town and the Friends of the Marion Council on Aging, is now available for use by the town’s nonprofit groups.

The calendar is designed to: Increase citizen awareness of and participation in community-wide events; provide non-profit, Marion organizations a place to post events on the town website and decrease scheduling conflicts.

This is a free service. It can be used to promote educational, social, cultural, athletic, or recreational events open to the general public. All calendar listings must follow the Town of Marion guidelines and be submitted using the online event notice form, which can be obtained from the calendar editor Michele Bissonnette at mbissonnette@marionma.gov.

The calendar can be viewed on the town’s website, http://www.marionma.gov.
