Well, for a free and easy way, you could use a free personal reminder service like
the one FTD Florists offers, and have the email reminders sent to a part-time staff
member, who could forward the notice to the appropriate officers, or, more
elegantly, you could have the reminder go to an appropriately populated mailing
list.

> One of the organisations I do volunteer work with, as an officer, creates

> This calendar is distributed to all officers in the hope that they will

> This last hope is not being realised. The calendar is a Word document.

> At a minimum would, automatically, throw up an alert on a screen signalling
