There are TWO calendars:
- One named "Chicago ACS" that lists Section events such as dinner meetings, board meetings, and events at which the Section has a sponsorship or presence, such as Chemistry Day, State Fair, and DuPage Engineers Week
- Another named "chicagochemistry" that lists events in Chicagoland that chemists would be interested in, such as some sponsored by the Illinois Science Council, the Chicago Council on Science and Technology, major lectures and symposia at area universities, and scientific conferences.
