all of the events and networking opportunities you attend? Well, there may be an easier way to populate and update your calendar using the resources already posted on Retirement Connection's website - here's how:
- Go to the
- Click on the button for the Events Calendar at the top of that page.
- Once the calendar opens, on the bottom right, click the button for "Google Calendar".
- This will add this calendar and all supporting info to your calendar page if you use Google Calendar.
- You can then also sync Google Calendar with Outlook, smart phones and other applications.
What's so great about this? As meeting locations or topics change- your calendar is automatically updated as we receive the updated details. We also provide a web link to more information for your calendar. The networking calendar remains independent from your personal entries for quick viewing.
(you will need a FREE google email account to do this)

Nugget of Knowledge
Good Enough Doesn't Live Here
If you don't have to it do it right, when will you have time to do it over? - John Wooden
When things get hectic we all have a tendency to comply with "good enough". Resist that urge and take the few extra minutes to make the adjustments needed to move from good to great. That is where the magic happens. Doing it well once really does take less time (in the long run). - Amy
