• The Present Situation– Many organizations already have beautiful and very functional
online calendars on their websites.– These calendars provide great information to those with a
focused interest in that organization. Broaden your interests to half a dozen core organizations and another half dozen casual interests and the situation changes. Put yourself in the shoes of tourists, potential residents, visitors of all kinds, new residents, etc, and the situation changes again.
