There
is a new feature on the Vision St. Charles County Leadership
website. We have incorporated a calendar so that everyone
will be able to see Vision or community-related events easily.
Anyone can submit an event to the calendar, which will then
be forwarded to the administrator for approval. As mentioned
above, the calendar is for Vision-related or community-related
events only. Examples include: Vision program days, the
Big Kahuna Celebrity Bartending Challenge, the Wing Ding,
ribbon cuttings, etc.
When
you access the Vision Leadership website, there will be
a link to the calendar on the left-hand side. Click on this
link and it should bring up a page that looks like this:

To
submit an event for approval, click on the link that says
‘Add New Entry’ (shown
above by the red arrow). After you click on this link, it
will bring up the following screen:

Under
the ‘Details’ tab
(shown above by the orange arrow), you will enter the following
information:
- Brief
Description
The actual name of the event as you would like it to show
on the calendar
-
Full Description
A description of the event that will show as people click
on the event which may include information such as what
the event is for, what organization the event benefits,
attire, cost, etc.
-
Date
The date and duration of the event (use drop-down box
to enter specific time)
-
Driving Directions
How to get to the event
If
it is a recurring event you can use the ‘Repeat’
tab (shown above by the yellow arrow). This
can be either: Daily/Weekly/Monthly/Yearly
After
you have entered all of the above information, your event
is ready to be submitted for approval.
You will click on the ‘Save’
button (shown below by the green arrow).
When the calendar administrator logs into the calendar,
they will see your event pending approval. As long as the
event meets the posting criteria (Vision or community-related),
it will be approved by the administrator and be visible
for site visitors.

Once
your event has been approved by the administrator, the name
of the event will show on the calendar (indicated by blue
arrow below):

This
calendar also allows you to export items to your Outlook
calendar
To
import a specific event, click on the event to review more
details:
-
In the “Export this entry to: (pick either iCalendar
or vCalendar)” Then click the ‘Export’
button.
- Save
the file some where on your computer.
- Open
up Outlook, go to FILE > IMPORT AND EXPORT. When the
pop up window opens, pick “Import an iCalendar or
vCalendar file (.vcs)”. Browse for the file you
saved earlier and click OK. Note: If it is not showing
up in the destination where you saved it, make sure ‘Files
of Type’ is ‘All Files’.
- The
event should now display in your Outlook Calendar.
To
import several events, click on the link at the
bottom of the page that reads, “Export”. Choose
the format and pick the dates you would like. Click the
“Export” button and follow steps 2-4 above.
If you have any questions or if you are having trouble
getting an event to submit for approval, please contact
