"reminder" suggests that it was announced before, but many local residents and business owners on 9th St itself only heard about the event 24 hrs in advance -- some only earlier that day -- for the first time. The SMS web site needs to be updated with it's own current events.
Is that the best way to genuinely maximize participation and benefit local business and the community?
What is the SMS budget for the year?

Mediocrity - I've heard similar critiques when I've posted email reminders from SMS here before. I'll pass this along to Alex to discuss how the calendar can be better publicized.
I'm sure Alex would be happy to provide you with the SMS budget.
