Because we are a global community and often have group activities, it is necessary to have an understanding of global time and the tools available to us. Below you will find examples of various time zones for both Standard Time and Daylight Savings Time, along with a link to the World Clock Time Zone Converter website.
The forum operates under the Central Time Zone, either Central Daylight Time (CDT) or Central Standard Time (CST) depending on the time of year. All times given for group activities and gatherings will use the Central Time Zone.
