This would be a big plus for many of our members who would do this at  
work or while traveling. It also adds to the feeling of being  
connected while away. The access would increase accuracy and currency  
-- less forgetting because you could do it when you remember, not  
when you happen to be in the CH.

Our guest and CH reservations are done online and it is a real  
convenience. And much neater. We used to have a tattered calendar  
hanging from a wall with a pencil on a string. Cross-outs and arrows  
and unreadable messages. People got confused all the time. And it  
looked awful well before the yearly calendar ended.
