- 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.

Nugget of Knowledge
Make a Choice
"For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness." - Ralph Waldo Emerson We forget that we have a choice in how we respond to an event? We can choose to be angry, let something just roll off our backs, or choose to focus on a positive. The anger keeps us from moving on, and we are not paying attention when the good stuff happens. We have a choice- which did you make? - Amy
