_About_events_Intro_v1

An event is any occasion your organization attends.  You might bring animals to an event, for instance, at your local pet store regular weekly adoption day, or a special adoption event, or an event might simply be a fundraiser for the non-furry members of the organization. With the Events feature, events can be tied to other features. For instance, you can use the settings to select an option to display your event on your RescueGroups.org website home page. You can use both the News feature and the Email Marketing Service to publicize your event. 

With both the Data Management Service and the Website Service, you can track events and which animals attend each. 

The Events feature is closely tied to the animal and contacts meet requests and to the Locations features. Events require a Location. Requests for meetings with an animal require an Event. You can find meeting requests for an animal both on the animal's page and on the contact's page. All of these features can be tied together to give you a robust way to publicize events, promote adoptions, and easily ensure animals that specific people want to meet are available.
