Announcing and Reminders for your OLP Events

Finding the Announce Button:

While you can create events in the Member Portal and the Android and iOS Apps, announcing events must be done from the public OLP site for your group.

If you do not have a link to your lodge you can typically type in the URL for your lodge using the following pattern.

http://<local_number>-<state_abbreviation>.ourlodgepage.com/

So, if you belong to Masters No. 5 in New York your URL would be:

http://5-ny.ourlodgepage.com/

If this doesn't work you can go to:

http://www.ourlodgepage.com/lodges

This page lists all lodges in the Our Lodge Page eco-system. Hit Ctrl-F (on Windows) or Cmd-F (On Mac) and search for your lodge.

Once logged in on the public OLP site as Webmaster

Click Calendar

From the Calendar page, click on the event you wish to Announce

On the event screen, you'll see all Webmaster control buttons on the right hand side:

To Announce, select the Announce button.

After the event has been announced, you can view results and Send Reminders

View Results screen looks like this, with a list of emailed and not emailed members. 

Notification Settings:

If the member has not RSVP'd, they'll receive a reminder.
If the member has RSVP'd NO, they will NOT receive a reminder.
If the member has RSVP'd YES, they WILL receive a reminder.

Notes:

Any member who has the Android or iOS App on their mobile device will also receive an announcement notification. Any member who does not have an email in the system, or whose email has been marked Invalid, cannot be emailed.
