If so, make it your business to insist that that calendar show those events. If not active, why not?

Here's what I think: If the local organization doesn't do its job, kick your concern up, all the way to the state organization, if necessary. Insist. Make it clear that you're upset by this and press the issue until they comply with what they should be doing. Make noise and be annoying until they do it.

Yes, that's my observation in Fl and TB region. HooptieWagon Jul 2015 #13
