This is to let you know about a new Community Calendar where you can find out what is happening in Union and post your events free of charge. Simply go to www.unionsc.com and click on Community Calendar or Upcoming Events.

You will see a month at a glance on the Community Calendar page and a chronological listing on the Upcoming Events page.

You can cross reference dates and make sure your event doesn’t conflict with others already scheduled.
You can look at the previous months and year to see how events were scheduled in the past.
This is a great tool for you to use when planning for the coming year.

We are contacting you and hundreds of others in Union County who place their events on calendars at the Art Council, Clemson Extension, The Chamber, Union County Schools, WBCU, The Union Daily Times and other places.

The Chamber Community Calendar is not to take the place of the others but to provide a central location where all events can merge.

There are three ways for you and your organization to put an event on the Community Calendar.

1. Go to www.unionsc.com and at the bottom of the home page you will see Community Calendar Submission
Click Here . Once you click on it, it will take you to a window where you simply fill-in the blank.

2. E-mail the chamber at chamber@unionsc.com Attach any flyers or photos you want added to your contact information.

3. Come by the Chamber office at 135 West Main Street or Call 864-427-9039
