Hi Gail, There are two ways you can make an Event Private. You can make just this particular instance Private by checking the tick box OR you can go into the Edit the Event Definition and make that whole Event Private. (which is what you need to do for your Found Event so you don't have to worry whether or not you've forgotten to check it private.)
Once the whole Event is Private I don't think you can make one instance of it Public by unchecking the tick box.
