On Your Phone

Add to your home screen

Install this site on your phone and it opens like an app — full screen, one tap from your home screen, and it keeps working when you’re offline. There’s nothing to download from an app store.

What the app gives you

  • · The calendar of convocations and assemblies, on your home screen.
  • · Education posts and the bodies’ history, readable offline.
  • · A fast, full-screen experience with no browser clutter.

Member sign-in, event RSVPs, and meeting reminders will arrive with the members’ area — they’ll appear in the same installed app, with no reinstall needed.

Having trouble? The exact wording can vary slightly by phone model and browser version, but the steps are always in the browser’s share or menu button. If you get stuck, ask any officer for a hand at the next meeting.
