Must know
- Announcements are always available; no feature switch is needed. Creating or editing one needs the Send Communication permission, and seeing the list (drafts and archived ones included) needs View Communication or Send Communication.
- Publishing an announcement sends no email or text. It appears in the bell icon members see in the header of the members’ area, the League Portal and your public club website.
- There is no “pin” or expiry control. Higher Priority announcements sort to the top of the bell; Archive removes one from view.

Start a new announcement
Go to Communication → Announcements and click New Announcement. The Create Announcement dialog opens (“Compose a new announcement to share with your audience.”).

Write it and pick who sees it
Enter a Title and the Content (bold, italic, lists and alignment are available). Choose the Audience: All Members, Guardians (every account that holds a curler profile, their own or a child’s), Program or — when the Events feature is on — Event. Picking Program adds a Program select offering All Program Registrants or one program; only accounts with a curler registered there will see it.
