Phone Services

In case you don't read the comments posted here I would like to share one from my post below.

Heather writes that she uses these services for automatically calling groups of people:
http://www.phonevite.com (free for up to 25 numbers per message)http://www.callingpost.com (low cost)

Thank you very much for the information. I moved all of my Bowling League numbers to phonevite.com I plan on keeping the Girl Scout numbers with call-em just because I want them to be sure to get the messages. It's my understanding that phonevite doesn't do call backs. I may have misunderstood.

So for right now I am will stick with the two services. And with booth League and GS beginning this week I will be giving them a trial run. I already tested both of them on my daughter's phone. Lucky her.

Check This Out

Call-Em-All Sign Up Now! This is so cool. All I do is record a phone message and this program will automatically dial the phone number until it reaches a person or answering machine! Then it sends me a report. No more worring about parents not checking their e-mail. I am going to use it for the 2 Junior Bowling Leagues also.

I use two similar services, one free, one inexpensive:

http://www.phonevite.com (free for up to 25 numbers per message)

http://www.callingpost.com (low cost)

I really like the features of Phonevite (can't believe it's free!), but use CallingPost as a back up when I can't check on the call status after sending it - Phonevite won't retry failed calls.

Camporee in Ukiah

I am determined to have a Camporee this year. At 1st Loretta and I (Events Committee) were going to plan it. But we now have several PAs (Program Aides) in the area I have decided that it is time for them to plan a event from start to finish!

I sent a flyer to the other cadette troop leaders today. Beginning next month we will have a planning meeting. I want the girls to decided everything from start to finish. They will complete all the paperwork, flyers, registration, etc.

I have asked that each come up with a theme and present it to the group at the 1st meeting. Not only do I want to theme but I want crafts, games, badges, the whole nine yards.

I also set up a private google group for them to commnicate with eachother. I have uploaded files to it to help them get going in the right directions.

Keep your fingers crossed because I think we are in for a bumpy ride!
