Read the text and answer the question.

Maria's coworkers are organizing a surprise retirement party for her after 22 years at the company. The party will be held in the main break room on Friday at 3 p.m., right before Maria's usual end-of-week team meeting. Organizers have asked everyone to keep the plan off the shared calendar so Maria does not see it. Instead, invitations were sent through a private group chat. Colleagues are asked to bring a small dish or dessert to share, and one coworker is in charge of ordering a cake shaped like a suitcase, since Maria plans to travel after retiring.

Why did the organizers avoid putting the party on the shared calendar?
