  • Do not create the Event as the "Makers Local 256" page. Create the Event in "Friends and Members of Makers Local 256." Follow the next step, it is very important.
    • When creating a facebook event AS the makers group on facebook, on the very first pop up screen there will be an option to make the event public vs. only for the facebook group. It will not let you change the event to public after you've created it, so create with caution.
