Calendar Usage and Tips

We are using a “Google Calendar”

Read Access:  “Public” access: everybody (not just members)  can view it – but everybody can not change it.

Update Access:  Specific Members (eg. Board Members, Blind Captains) can be setup to have modify access.

• To modify the calendar the member needs a Google account. This does not mean you are required to have a gmail account.

If you don’t have Google account, then the Calendar can be viewed through website.
