We've now made it as easy as possible to share your organization's Facebook page via the Facebook Page Plugin.

The Facebook Plugin widget will automatically post updates and notices made on the Club's Facebook page and make them available on the page with the Plugin. 

While designing the club’s Home page or custom page,  the Facebook Plugin widget can be dropped onto the page from the Bulletin & PR widget group in the designer.

When set with the club’s Facebook URL in the widget’s properties, the plugin will display the club's total Facebook likes, profile banner, and recent posts and pictures, if enabled.
