The email you've submitted to News.Boquete has been distributed. It was also archived on the News.Boquete forum of the ChiriquiLlife  (CL) website at: http://www.chiriqui.life/forum/87-news-boquete/

For greater exposure for your event we suggest you also post your event on the CL calendar at: http://www.chiriqui.life/calendar/.

If you post your event then not only will your event show on the calendar with other events, but it also will be displayed in the "upcoming events panel" on the homepage of CL everyday for seven days prior to the event, meaning even more publicity for your event. People can also respond to that event posting to ask questions, provide feedback, write reviews, endorse your event, give testimonials, etc.
