If you look at the options - available to us here on the new board, the Calendar shows birthdays - that is if you enter them in your profile - this is good software but not THAT good that it knows your birthday without you telling it.
Also things listed by date can be added by Jim or myself to the calendar. Take a look at it.
I would like to see some regional events added to the Event board - there must be some contacts out there in the regions who know what is going on next year. I hope we have a lot of input from the regions. This should be first and formost a Club site.
