FAQs
1) Login
a) I previously tried to log and it didn’t work. An auto-response email was inadvertently sent before it was active. Use the newly sent email to log in. Username and Password should be the same but now activated.
b) I am still having problems logging in. Make sure you are typing the exact letters and numbers, as it is case sensitive. Best to copy and paste.

2) Directory
a) My photos are not uploading onto the site. The photo size and file size are over the maximum allowed. See maximums on Directory entries.

3) Calendar
a) Why doesn’t my calendar item show on the calendar? All items must be approved/disapproved by an Administrator before showing up on the calendar. Call the director if it is not posted in a timely matter.
b) Try to fill in as much information as possible on the input form, especially the “contact name” and “contact email or phone”.
