A Sunset on Summer with D.C.'s Diplomatic Scene 🌇

👋 A Return to the Old Gods…👋

👀 Excuse the reference to the House of Dragons, I have been watching way too much TV recently! I did a poll across all our platforms about which form of information you wanted to see with our events list. The options included the old Google Calendar, the Tockify calendar, and the PamPam visual map. People chose the old Google Calendar! I guess… if it wasn’t broke, then don’t fix it.

This is the process of constant testing and iterating with what works and what does not. It turns out the old Google Calendar was the best solution since it was the most practical. Folks could literally add it to their own Google Calendar and did not care about how visual it looked. So… without further ado, say hello to an old friend 📆.
