You can create events such as meetings, luncheons, and more! For each event, you can specify date & time, location, and registration unique to each event. As you create events, each published event begins to dynamically fill your Calendar. Your League's Calendar will be found at: 

• my.lwv.org/state-league/local-league/calendar (for local Leagues)
• my.lwv.org/state-league/calendar (for state Leagues)
  • Note: the sections in the links above in bold are custom to your League. (e.g. The Los Angeles League Webmaster would find her calendar on https://my.lwv.org/california/los-angeles/calendar, while the South Carolina Webmaster will find her calendar at https://my.lwv.org/south-carolina/calendar.)
