With a working web site (zscca.org) and member email data, a third-party tool shouldn't be required to gather information on upcoming plans and events.
At the very least, it would be helpful if those pages were public so that a FB login wasn't required to see what's going on.

Point taken.
I've been told that ZSCCA used to have a Forum (like this), but it was abandoned due to lack of use. (that was before I joined the club)
I don't believe it is possible to view anything in Facebook without logging in. We use Facebook extensively because it's the most interactive tool available. It also happens to be FREE. While email and website are good information sources, they don't provide the same means of immediate interaction.
The ZSCCA.org website does have an event calendar. Admittedly, the reps are not religious about updating it for every single activity they plan. Many of the reps do also maintain an email list of their interested local members.
You are in the Chicago area?- Robin Blair is your Area Rep. I suggest you contact him and ask to be emailed about upcoming events:
il@zscca.org
We actually have a Tech Committee working on several items right now. One of them is finding additional and better ways to communicate more effectively with the membership.
