[Calendar] WebEvent calendar server switchover and downtime

[Jeff Mangum]

Just a reminder that we will be doing the WebEvent calendar switchover 
tomorrow morning.

*Please wait until you get an "all-clear" from me before adding or 
editing events.*

We hope to be done by 10:00 EDT.  Hopefully, it will go smoothly...

Cheers,

Jeff
