Digital Bulletin Board for Clubs, Posts & Nonprofits
Paper flyers get torn down. Whiteboards go out of date the minute someone runs a new event. The Facebook page? Half your members don’t check it. Mango Display turns any TV in your hall, lobby, or canteen into a digital bulletin board that stays current automatically — pulling straight from the Google Calendar your officers already manage.
No new software to learn. No extra work for volunteers. Plug in a small streaming stick, point it at your calendar, and walk away.

Why Mango Display Works for Volunteer-Run Groups
It runs on what you already have. Mango Display runs on Amazon Fire TV, Samsung Smart TVs, Android TV & Google TV, LG Smart TVs, Apple iPad, Android and Fire tablets, Amazon Echo Show, Windows PCs, any modern web browser, and Raspberry Pi — see the full list on our supported display types page. If your Post or lodge already has a smart TV, you can usually install it directly with no streaming stick. Otherwise, a $30 Fire Stick or Chromecast works fine. Connect it to your Google Calendar and if your Adjutant, Secretary, or Grand Knight can add an event from their phone, they can run this.
It stays current without anyone touching it. Add an event to the calendar, and it appears on the TV within minutes. Cancel a meeting, and it disappears. No flyer reprints, no whiteboard markers, no “sorry, I forgot to update the sign.”
It shows more than just text. Upload images, flyers, and PDFs to your calendar events, and they display on the TV alongside the event listing. Want to highlight a fundraiser? Drop the flyer in and it shows up on screen.
It grows with you. Start with one TV at the front door. Add a second behind the bar. Add a third in the meeting hall. One calendar, every screen in sync.
How It Works
- Pick a display. A Samsung, LG, Android, or Google TV can run Mango Display natively. Older TVs just need a $30 Amazon Fire Stick or Chromecast. iPads, tablets, Echo Show, and Windows PCs work too — see all supported devices.
- Install Mango Display and sign in. Takes under 2 minutes.
- Connect your Google Calendar. Pick the calendar your officers already use.
- Walk away. The TV pulls today’s and this week’s events automatically and refreshes on its own.
Use PDFs and Google Sheets, Too
Most of our users start with Google Calendar — it’s what the officer corps already knows. But if your organization tracks events or announcements differently, the Business plan lets you display:
- PDF flyers — Drop your monthly newsletter or event flyer in and it rotates on screen.
- Google Sheets — If your Secretary keeps the schedule in a spreadsheet, point Mango Display at the Sheet and it’ll render it cleanly on the TV.
- Auto-generated event images — Let Mango Display generate clean, branded event graphics on the fly so you don’t need a volunteer to design anything.
Pricing Built for Nonprofits
- Free — Try it out with a single screen (no calendar sync).
- Pro — $5.99/month — Full Google Calendar integration. This is what most Posts and lodges need.
- Business — $19.99/month — Adds PDF display, Google Sheets, auto-generated event images, and multiple screens.
- Enterprise — $49/month — For state Departments, District offices, and multi-location operations.
Most small Posts and lodges spend less per year on Mango Display than on a single newspaper ad.
What Is a Digital Bulletin Board?
A digital bulletin board is a TV or tablet screen that displays your organization’s upcoming events, meeting times, and announcements — automatically. Instead of pinning paper flyers to a cork board that nobody reads, you turn a screen on the wall into a live, always-up-to-date communication hub. Mango Display pulls the schedule straight from your existing Google Calendar, so updating the board is as simple as updating a calendar event.
Who Uses Digital Bulletin Boards?
Any organization that needs to keep members, volunteers, or guests informed about what’s happening this week. That includes American Legion Posts, VFW Posts, AMVETS, Elks and Moose Lodges, Masonic Lodges, Knights of Columbus Councils, churches, fire halls, community centers, schools, senior centers, fitness clubs, and small businesses with a lobby or break room. If you have a TV mounted in a common area, it can be a digital bulletin board.
Digital vs. Traditional Bulletin Boards
A traditional cork bulletin board requires someone to print, trim, and pin flyers, then remember to take them down when they go stale. Information ages fast. A digital bulletin board — also called an electronic bulletin board — updates itself. Post a new event to your calendar and it appears on screen automatically. Cancel an event and it disappears. The board stays current without anyone walking over to it.
How to Set Up a Digital Bulletin Board on a TV
Setting up a digital bulletin board on a TV takes about five minutes. You don’t need dedicated hardware or a separate media player. Here’s how to display announcements on a TV with Mango Display:
- Create a Mango Display account and connect the Google Calendar you already use for events.
- Install the Mango Display app on a smart TV (Samsung, LG, Android TV), a Fire TV stick, an iPad or tablet, an Echo Show, or a Raspberry Pi. It also runs in a browser on any Windows PC.
- Sign in, pick your layout and brand colors, and the calendar is now on screen. Using a TV as a bulletin board is that fast.
From then on, anyone who can add an event to Google Calendar — your secretary, your events chair, a volunteer — can update the bulletin board. No design tools, no IT ticket.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a smart TV? No — but if you have one, great. Mango Display installs natively on Samsung, LG, Android, Google TV, and Fire TV. If your TV isn’t smart, a $30 Fire Stick or Chromecast handles everything. We also run on iPads, Android/Fire tablets, Amazon Echo Show, Windows PCs, and any web browser.
Who manages the calendar? Whoever already manages it. If your Adjutant, Secretary, or event chair updates Google Calendar today, they don’t have to change a thing.
Can I show different things on different TVs? Yes. One screen in the lobby can show public events, while a screen in the officers’ room can show member-only calendars.
What if we don’t use Google Calendar? Most officer corps find Google Calendar simplest because it’s free and works on every phone. If you already use Outlook, Apple Calendar, or a spreadsheet, the Business plan supports those too.
Is this hard to set up? If you can connect a streaming stick to Wi-Fi, you can do this. Most Posts and lodges are up and running in under 15 minutes.
Add Photos to Events
Want to show a photo alongside an event — a birthday portrait, a photo from last year’s picnic, or a flyer for this weekend’s fundraiser? Attach an image to the Google Calendar event and Mango Display shows it on screen with the event details. Photos aren’t auto-generated — you add the ones you want, whether it’s a portrait for a member’s birthday, a shot from last year’s cookout, a flyer for an upcoming fundraiser, or a headshot for a visiting speaker. The display pulls them straight from the calendar entry.
