It's Saturday at 10 AM. The guided walking tour of the historic district starts at the courthouse steps, but three members are waiting at the museum entrance because the meeting point was mentioned once at last month's meeting and never written down.
The society invited a local author to give a lecture on Civil War history in the county. Only twelve people showed up to a room set for fifty. The event was in the quarterly newsletter that went out six weeks ago, and everybody forgot by the time the date arrived.
The society president gets calls every week from community members: "When is the next tour?" "Is the museum open this weekend?" "Do you have anything for the Fourth of July?" She's been answering the same questions for three years and her volunteer patience is wearing thin.

Here's what historical societies typically put on their shared calendar:
What this looks like in practice
Evelyn, the society president, opens iCalFeed on Monday. She adds next Saturday's walking tour with the meeting point at the old train depot, posts the guest lecture on the founding families, and updates the preservation committee meeting room. Total time: three minutes.
Robert, a retired history teacher and society member, checks his phone on Thursday. He sees "Walking Tour: Victorian Homes of Elm Street — 10 AM, Meet at Old Train Depot, Wear Comfortable Shoes" on his calendar. He plans his morning around it without having to call anyone.
On Wednesday, the guest lecturer calls to reschedule from Friday to the following Tuesday. Evelyn edits the event and updates the date and adds a note: "Rescheduled per speaker request." By Thursday, every member's phone shows the new date. No frantic phone calls to the membership.
How iCalFeed compares
vs. Quarterly newsletter
Published every three months. Everyone forgets the event dates by the second week.
Events live on their phone and pop up when it's time. No forgetting.
vs. Museum bulletin board
Only seen by people who already came to the museum. Doesn't reach the broader membership.
Every member sees every event on their phone, whether they visit the museum or not.
vs. Email announcements
Many members are older and check email infrequently. Messages pile up unread.
Events appear directly in their calendar. No inbox to manage.
vs. Local newspaper listing
Newspaper runs it once. If they miss that day's paper, they miss the event.
Events stay on their phone until the day arrives. Impossible to miss.
