We’ll also include your event on Quadro’s Social Media Pages; Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Guidelines to be included in the Community Portal:
- Keep copy (text) to the most essential elements to quickly get your point across.
- Ensure there is a way for us and your intended audience to reach you, should we need to clarify something.
- Remember to include location, date and time of your event.
- Include an image that best represents your event.
- If a fundraiser, ensure that you clearly state how the funds are to be used, ideally include your license or charitable number.
- For the community channel, image size is 1035 px (width) by 582 px (height). Not sure, let us know and we’ll design it for you.
- Allow one full business day for the postings to go live.
- Ideal time to include your event 2 – 3 weeks in advance (up to 1 month).
