Motivation: Want to be able to easily see when meetings are, if there are any changes, future events, and etc. Currently I only have Instagram to promote. Members want another way to see the information. 

Frustrations: Difficult to know when events are or know ahead of time. If a meeting is missed, find out too late about events or overall meeting changes.
