The UUCC Spaced Out Task Force—Phase II has been researching the top options for increasing UUCC's space that came out of the Phase I Task Force’s work (reported in December 2007). The group is gathering cost estimates as well as information regarding feasibility, benefits, and burdens for each option. All of the information will be shared and discussed with the congregation at dessert parties. These gatherings will be an opportunity for you to share your thoughts, concerns, and opinions as well as to learn about the results of the research to date. There will also be two information sessions at OBIC on April 19 and April 26 for those who are not able to attend a dessert party. We hope you make every effort to participate--we need your input! Please see the links below for many additional details.

DIRECTIONS FOR USING THE NEW OFFICE TRACKER EVENT CALENDAR:
Once you go to the web address, you will get a pop-up error message that says: "There is no valid calendar selected please select an item from the calendar menu." Click "OK".

From the bar at the top of the page, click on the drop-down menu marked "Calendar" and select the calendar you wish to view. If you click on the UUCC Calendar, the only events at OBIC you will see are for UUCC (which is great if you want to quickly view UUCC events without having to weed through the OBIC calendar). If you click on the OBIC Calendar, you will see EVERYTHING going on at OBIC (which is good if you want to put in a scheduling request and want to see what space is available at any given time).

Also on the bar at the top of the page are options for HOW to want to view the calendar (by week, month, etc.). The BEST way to view an event is to click on the day of that event...then ALL the details will be listed. The calendar can be viewed 24/7 and it updates automatically every 15 minutes.

UUCC EVENTS NOT TAKING PLACE AT OBIC (OFFSITE EVENTS):
When viewing the calendar, there will be two ways to see that it is offsite: 1) the room/attendees will be listed as UUCC OS (offsite) and 2) The word OFFSITE will be listed in the title (it may not show up on the monthly calendar view though, since the Office Tracker calendar only allows a certain number of characters per view.)
