How to Edit Events Calendar

The Suwannee St. Johns Chapter (SSJ)

The Suwannee St. Johns Group (SSJ) of the Florida Chapter of the Sierra Club serves 14 north central Florida counties including Alachua, Baker, Bradford, SW Clay, Columbia, Dixie, Gilchrist, Hamilton, Lafayette, Levy, Marion, Putnam, Suwannee, and Union.

We are an all-volunteer organization. We believe it’s as important to enjoy and share our natural resources, as it is to protect them. Check out our Outings to join an activity or adventure for some good times and friendships.

Any Sierra Club leader who has Campfire log-in permissions can schedule their own events in the Sierra Club Events Calendar — which (when Status is changed to 'Active') will then automatically populate Sierra Club calendars.

Your event will appear not only in the calendars on our local site, but also in any other Sierra Club entity calendar that sets their filter to show our SSJ events. For an example, see how our own SSJ fun events calendar is filtered to also show fun events for other Sierra Club Groups in surrounding North Florida counties.

How to Schedule Your Event in the Campfire Events Calendar

Enter your username and password on the Campfire log-in page.

Choose the menu item for 'Events'. It's mostly self-explanatory from there. (no, really... go ahead... try it...it's pretty intuitive...)

You can also optionally sign up for the free training: Getting Started With Campfire Events 101. (tip: you must already be logged into the Campfire site before clicking this link)

Most important: Do not choose Status = Active until you have received approval to publish your post to the live site.

Until you have received approval to publish to the live site, you will usually leave the default Status = 'In Development', or you might change it to 'Pending Approval'.

When approved, simply change Status = Active.

Tip: Once you release (Status = Active), there is no "going back" to Status = "In Development', but you can change to Status = 'Pending Approval', which temporary removes the event from showing in any live calendars.

How to get approval

Simply get approval from any Board member. (Leaders)
