Getting Started with Google Calendar
Google Calendar is beneficial because it helps people and teams stay organized, save time, and coordinate more effectively. For large teams and organizations, it consolidates all events, meetings, and tasks in one place. You can start by building a community/organizational calendar.

K-12: Book Bag Program: Create a book bag for every child to take home each night, containing one book that the child can read to someone else and one book for someone to read to the child.
