Calendar Deadlines: Focus normally appears every other Friday, with some variation for holidays and summer. The calendar in each standard issue includes events in the two-week period beginning the Wednesday after the Friday issue date. The deadline for calendar submissions is Wednesday of the week before the issue date. This means that the deadline for submission is two to four weeks before the event. Sorry, we cannot accept any submissions that come in after the deadline. If you would like to receive submission information, leave your request and fax number at 432-1592. The next Focus deadline is July 8.
