***An issue we've discovered with the new calendar is that sometimes events drop from the calendar due to changes by the organization. Unlike the old calendar, we don't usually get notification of the change. If you pull up an event and the event is blank, it probably means that the event has been canceled or changed. When possible, we're linking to the Facebook event, organization's website, or Facebook post to avoid this issue. Sorry for any inconvenience.***
