HAVE AN UPCOMING EVENT?
But before we roll out the red carpet...
There are 2 REQUIRED forms you MUST fill out!
TAS EVENT FORM
This one’s essential—it ensures that
Security, Tech, Buildings & Grounds, and
Temple Admin all know what’s
happening and can help make it run
smoothly.
FLIER REQUEST FORM
This one’s for me (hi! ). If you want a flyer
made, social media posts, email blasts,
or announcements—I need this form to
make that magic happen!
WHY TWO FORMS?
Because events only run smoothly when everyone's in the loop—and we love smooth events!
No forms = no flyer. No promo. No setup. No security.
(And you definitely want those things.)
