Some groups don't WANT new members.   Example--  the West Kingdom (of all
places!!) seneschal has Forbidden 'on line' announcement of sca event
locations & times.   Further; it is forbidden to disclose a method of
reaching the 'contact person' unless prior permisssion is granted.   It
has been years since an attempt at a press release has been seen.  
Apparently the West Kingdom (at least) is a 'secret society'.  
     If other journalists desire to work out a framework for a PR packet
(great idea!) please count on my help.
