❓ Questions
Q: Why isn’t [specific event] listed?
A: We only show events from sources we can automatically access (Library, Board of Education, etc.). We’re working to add more sources.
Q: Can I submit my event?
A: Not yet — we’re exploring ways to accept community submissions while keeping spam out.
Q: Where do I RSVP or register for events?
A: Contact the event organizer directly. We don’t handle registrations.
Q: Who runs this site?
A: Bayonne residents who wanted an easier way to find local events. It’s a volunteer project.
