INVITE NON-FACEBOOKERS TO AN EVENT When you are cr<br />
eating an event on Facebook, the Select Guests men<br />
u shows your existing friends, but it also lets yo<br />
u enter the e-mail addresses of people who do not<br />
have Facebook accounts. Type one or more e-mail ad<br />
dress, separated by commas, into the Invite by E-m<br />
ail Address box. Your invitees will receive a mess<br />

each one can be ineffective. These can get lost in<br />
the stream of events, making it hard for people t<br />
o check for, say, your next game. As an alternativ<br />
