    Are the calendar invites for the Friday Chats off/incorrect? I have in my Outlook that we had one on the 7th and another today, the 21st. It looks like we don't. As it's Friday (and post-conference), this has broken my brain. [Did I create my own Friday Chats outlook entry, because that would explain a lot...]
    This GODORT page doesn't clearly indicate if it applies to 2022, so I wasn't sure if I should rely on it or not, though it does appear to be topically correct.

    Hi Charlie,
    Apologies for the confusion! The correct dates are on the registration page (https://ala-events.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJYkdOuurT8uGdCqOd3ZxD7OzKRS8BOL7DBM) and the guide that you linked to (I added the year to the dates to hopefully clear up any confusion).

    I'm not sure about the calendar invite. I don't have a calendar invite in my calendar for the Friday chats -- I just added the event series to my calendar manually.
