- Only Visible (optional) will allow you to display the event at, or within a date/time range of your liking, as opposed to right away.

More Info (Optional)
- Title/Caption should be the name of the Link URL's origin (see next bullet point). This could be a sponsor, organization, business name, etc. (ex. "Habitat for Humanity").
- Link URL is where you will enter the direct link to the website of the Title/Caption (from the previous bullet point). (ex. "https://www.habitat.org").
Be sure to include the 'http://" or "https://" prior to the 'www.' or else the link will not function. It is easiest just to copy/paste the URL directly from your browser.
