"Calendar" for HHICC
activities What a great tool for you to check and keep track of HHICC activities!
This calendar is easily accessible by PC’s and Mac’s using the "Calendar" navigation link
in the left border of this page. Check it out and see it work. More activities coming in the fall.
Accessing the calendar from your mobile devices is also easy!
When trying to access the club's calendar from iPod's, iPhones, iPads, or Android phones you may find yourself taken to a Windows Live login screen instead of the calendar. If you want to view the calendar on your device, the simple solution is to either login with your Windows Live account or sign up for an account and use that userid and pw to log in. The mobile devices will remember your login info and the next time you click the link, it will likely go right to the calendar. This is the easiest way to view the HHICC calendar with your mobile device.
Another alternative is to simply use this link http://bit.ly/calhhicc which has been developed as an alternative method of viewing the HHICC calendar.
If you really don’t want to do either of these, there are other more complex
methods for accessing the calendar. Please contact me if you’d like to discuss
these other alternatives.
