What’s the plan?

Gatherings under one day use Morning, Afternoon, and Evening availability blocks. Longer gatherings use possible start dates.

Your email is used only to send updates as people respond.

Everyone can still see the Group Calendar and overall availability. This setting controls whether participants can see who selected individual availability blocks.

Choose the first and last possible date. Every date in between will be shown.
