Do you keep track of your schedule using one of the many web-based calendar services such as provided by Google, Yahoo, or Windows Live Calendar? Or perhaps you use a calendar program on your computer, such as Microsoft Office Outlook, Apple iCal, or Windows Calendar? And maybe you are using one of these calendar products in conjunction with a smart phone, such as an iPhone, Blackberry, Palm, or Android phone?

No matter what calendar software you are using, chances are good that it provides the ability for you to subscribe to internet calendars. And now, for the first time, the choir's website calendar is available for subscription as an internet calendar.

To subscribe, either click on the following link (which should start the subscription process using the calendar program on your computer), or else copy the link and paste it into the appropriate place for your calendar software (such as with Google Calendar or Yahoo Calendar):

webcal://www.RUMCchoir.com/calendar.ics

By subscribing, your calendar will show all the important rehearsal dates, performances, Sunday anthems, outreach projects, and other interesting events that are shown on the choir's website calendar (and in the choir newsletter), and your calendar will be automatically updated as events are added or changed. So give it a try, and let me know what you think.

Because of the wide variety of calendar options available today, it is difficult to give specific instructions for subscribing in all scenarios. Nonetheless, listed below are some links that might be helpful in certain situations:

• Microsoft Outlook
• Google Calendar
• Yahoo Calendar
