Calendar on Website: John K sent out info on a calendar program for the Dons Band website. It would enable those will passwords to make additions and changes to the calendar. It is free if we allow advertising, or $50.00 per year without ads. Doc also obtained info on a Band Director/Booster database and calendar with similar capabilities. It also offers student accounts, inventory and other features. It costs about $250.00 for 2 years. Everyone likes the idea, Doc will fwd info to the Board.
