We are using Google Calendar to store our event information. There are many advantages by using Google Calendar. Specifically, it offers an easy to navigate interface via a web browser and allows users to subscribe to the calendar so that any event changes are automatically synchronized to their local calendars (including some hand-held devices).

There are a number of applications that may subscribe to a Google calendar. The URL of the Pack calendar can be obtained from the bottom of the calendar.

• For Microsoft Outlook 2007 or 2010 (included with Microsoft Office 2007 or 2010, not Outlook Express):
  • Right-click the green icon that reads "ICAL" and choose "Copy Shortcut".
  • In Outlook, choose Tools...Account Settings and click the Internet Calendars tab. Paste (Ctrl+V) the URL of the ICS file that you copied in the previous step. Click Add.
    
  • The Internet Calendar is now part of your Outlook Send/Receive group and whenever you press F5, Outlook will synchronize it's content with the online Google Calendar. Remember that it's only a one way data transfer. New events added to Outlook won't be published to the Google Calendar.
• For Apple iCal:
  • In Safari, click the Green icon that reads "ICAL".
  • When iCal opens, it will present a dialog containing the URL of the calendar.
    
    Select "Subscribe".
  • iCal presents a second dialog on which you may change the subscription settings. It is recommended that you change the "Auto-Refresh" to "Every Hour".
    
    Select "OK".
• For Mobile Devices: use Google Sync for your phone
