**Mangla Sachdev of publicityworkshop.com has launched a 2004 Calendar of Special
Events to help encourage small businesses to collaborate with charities for mutual
publicity.**

The 2004 Calendar of Special Events includes a month-by-month listing of over 200
UK & international events in 2004. Among these are events either organised by charities
or that charities are involved with, including National Marriage Week, Loud Tie 
Day, International Forgiveness Day, National Ideas Week, and National Bike Week.
Each listing is accompanied by the organisers’ contact details, including Web addresses&
telephone numbers.

Sachdev commented: “I’ve been using this calendar for my clients to help organise
their PR plan for 2004, and each one has at least one article coming out early next
year in the media by tying in to an event. Seeing how successful it’s been, I’ve
now decided to make it available to everyone.”

to various charities each month, says Sachdev.
