Q: Can I post an Event to the calendar?
A: YES!  Please do!  You do not need to be a registered user to post an event, however all events are subject to approval by the Administrator.   To start posting an event, click on the DATE (ie the number of the day in the correct month)  This opens a set of "dialog boxes" - place a brief heading and a detailed description of your event, then an email so that you can be notified that it has been approved.   The only tricky part is the dating- if it's only a one time event, then just click the Submit button.  If your event runs several days in a row or on a weekly or monthly basis, click on the grey dropdown box and select the appropriate time selection.  Don't worry if your club meets on the some date every month basis- you can select that also when you click the "on a monthly basis" option.    If your event is running several days in a row, use the "on a daily basis"  and specify for how many days it runs.  If it's over a weekend, make sure you do not click the "exclude weekends" button.   When you think you've got it right, go ahead and click the Submit button.   Next you can upload images to go with your listing- first a sizable image to go next to your full description of your event, second a logo to go into the calendar itself- keep these very small- under 90 pixels square please.  Then, finish by clicking the upload/update button.  You should receive a message in red that says it was received.   Once your listing is approved, you will be able to edit it whenever you are on the same computer- just click on the event on the calendar and you will see the same dialog boxes and be able to make a change.  Don't forget to click the update button when you are done!
