Creating Your Monthly Calendar
Keeping Things Organized and Easy
A large part of managing and operating an RCC is holding events, but it might feel overwhelming to keep track of everything that's going on. A monthly calendar helps to resolve this issue, while also making it easy for people curious about recovery to access all of your events.
