We're so thankful for everyone that shared their Christmas with us by submitting a photo of their tree. After tallying the votes of our judges, the winners are:
JUDGES FAVORITE: Lori Dec Both winners will receive a $100 Visa gift card. In addition, the first 20 entries will receive a $5 Starbucks gift card. Thanks again to everyone that submitted! Have a fantastic New Year! Enjoy one last cartoon for 2010 that I drew in honor of one of my sons! COMMENTS:

SignUpGenius has so much promise to help groups simplify organization! I have some recommendations for improvements: 1) Give more lines for details concerning Location (IE: Space for address, phone # and TOPIC) 2) Create an option to create a contact list that will make it easy for everyone goto SignUpGenius to check for other members' phone#'s 3) On "People Needed" tab, allow sign up slots to be moved up and down manually. Right now, you can enter a title and select its organization as "alphabetical" or "As entered"... but when you edit, maybe your members want things moved around a bit. It would eliminate having to retype titles/sign up slots. 4) Perhaps create types of "Title/sign-up" slots. One thing that we want to know, is who will attend. It would be nice to be similar to Evite where members can simply click, "Yes, No, Maybe". 5) Allow Comments to be posted Anonomously or with abbreviated names. Keep up the good work developing this site. It has a lot of potential. I have already recommended it to organizers at other schools. Keep up the great work

Dan My name is Christophe Voisin, I'm the director of the Cobb Challengers Gymnastics and also head coach of the Boys competitive team. I love your the sign up genius it's making my work so much easier. Is there any chance we may see a Gymnastics Theme for Boys (a lot od people think gymnastics it's only a girls sport but it's not). Thanks for your consideration. Chtristophe Voisin

Thanks for writing in and I'm so glad that our system is working well for you. I'll make a note to have that looked at in our next batch of themes. We work with a specific image library that grants us a full license to use the images and we will just need to research it fully and see if we can find another alternative that would be more fitting for boys gymnastics. Thanks for the great suggestion. |
