Finally, a calendar

Been trying to access the calendar all week, but even though Melissa had posted it when I contacted her earlier in the week, it wasn't showing up in my calendars. Today, with her here, we straighted it out, and I made an entry for RefUSA training, sending an invitation to Melissa and Jill, just for practice. I think this has great potential for PR--sending invitations to people, groups, organizations, every time we schedule a public event in one of our meeting rooms. We'd need to organize mailing lists of people/groups interested in particular topics. Would they be able to view the information without a google account??? Would the message of the invitation show up in their email? Or would this only work for people with gmail? Comments please.
