Guidelines for the City of South Gate Community Calendar

If you have a community event that you would like to include in the Community Calendar listing, you may fax, mail or email the announcement. Information should be limited to one page with the name of the organization, contact person's name and number, the title of the event, the date(s), the location of the event and a brief description. We will need to receive your announcement at least three (3) weeks prior to the desired post date for the Web Site and eight (8) weeks for our Vista Newsletter.
