As another point from someone who has served as a publicity point person for various groups....
"Informational" press releases from community organizations are a dime a dozen. I would put the "look at what we did" type of press releases you mentioned in this catagory.
Papers seem to look more favorably on articles that are going to benefit the general public a little more (i.e. blood drive, free health check, etc.) or ask for some participation from the public (i.e. coat drive in front of the Piggley Wiggley, carnival for underpriviledged kids, local celebraty golf tourney etc) or the huge events that someone else mentioned.
