The third calendar is the “Day-By-Day Classic” calendar. This is an exciting calendar because it allows for full automation of the display! The beauty of the “Day-By-Day” calendar is that you can:

  • start the slide show

and the calendar will keep up with the day of the month automatically for a whole year!
