Global Singleton Classes?

I'm writing an app that needs to make some basic information available
to a number of frames in the application, like the date that the current
week began on, what location is using the program, etc.  Since we all
know, obviously, that we aren't supposed to be doing public variables, I
wonder if the right thing would be to create an instance of a class
called AppSettings in the Application class and then get references to
it in any of the frames where I need some of the information.  I tried
to look at the Calendar class as an example of how to do this but didn't
really learn anything; it seems to new a Gregorian Calendar in the
constructor.

Thanks,

Rob Williams
