Re: embed a private calendar on a password-protected site?
A bit of a kludge, but this is what I would do in your situation...

I would create a member called NPOCA_members (or something), and I would add that member under Premium->Sharing. I would also allow visitors to Add Events under Options->General.
(and select "Allow access only by specific members")

On my "members only page", I would create a link that actually posts the login information for that account. So when someone clicks the link, they are actually signed on as NPOCA_members and can use the Add Event button on the bottom of the calendar to add their info.

The HTML for doing this would be... (and I just took this from the logon page you see when you try and access a protected calendar)

<FORM action="http://www.localendar.com/elsie?DAM=Logon" method=post>  
<INPUT name=error_page type=hidden value="Security/LoginRequired">  
<INPUT name=next_page type=hidden value="Redirect">  
<INPUT name=redirect_url type=hidden value=http://www.localendar.com/public/mogrinz>
<INPUT name=username type="hidden" value="PUT MEMBERNAME HERE">  
<INPUT name=password type="hidden" value="PUT PASSWORD HERE">  
<INPUT type=submit value="Go to Calendar"> 
</FORM>
