Website Calendar Event Guidelines

Activity or Course Events

Activities or courses consist of a series of actual sessions, called events. Once the initial page has been created, the Website Team would like you to add, update and delete events. If you feel uncomfortable with this idea, the Website Team can update the event information for you based on your instructions.
