Contributors

Tips suggested by users

Prepare. There is no save-and-resume button, so have all the information on hand. (But you can return to edit it.)
Recurring Events. Powerful, but a little confusing the first time:
- To enter a meeting on the same date each month (e.g., the 5th), select “on the same day”.
- To enter a meeting on the same day and/or week (e.g., 1st Monday), select “on a different day”.
Categories. As a rule, you will want to select at least three categories, one from each of the following.
- Event Type
- Target Audience
- Welcoming Pages
Venues / Organizers.
- Enter the name of the organizer and location.
- If it is already in the database, the calendar will populate your event with relevant contact and location information.
- If you have to add a new organizer or venue, please fill in all the fields. It will help others.
Review. Once you submit an event, it will be reviewed before appearing on the calendar.

Everyone

Give us feedback! And, please be patient.

This is our pilot release. We will assemble user feedback to guide our second release in 2020 Q2.

We encourage and welcome donations.

We welcome everything from modest donations to immodest endowments. If active users and directory listers kick in a little something each year, we think that we can sustain and build this virtual center for the community.
