Getting Everyone On The Same Plan

When you are in the role of organizing an event or activity, figuring out what needs to get done is often far easier than lining up the people. Everybody is on a different busy schedule. Firming up arrangements can mean wasting a lot of time playing phone tag and sending "reply all" e-mails.

The One Planner offers simple yet powerful tools for easily getting everyone on the same plan. You post what needs to get done and your group members can sign up for the slots that best suit their schedules and capabilities. The One Planner manages sign-ups in real time so users always see the current openings and who is already on board. The List feature gives you the ability to request needed supplies for anything from snacks for school outings to gear for campouts to yard tools for the park cleanup project.

School Activities, Church Activities, Volunteer Events

If you are active in school, church or community organizations, you know that volunteers are vital. Enlisting and coordinating volunteers effectively can be a full-time job. All of your volunteers have their own busy lives.

Your challenge is to line up the volunteers with the activities on your program and to do so in a way that is convenient for the volunteers. The old-fashioned way is to spend a lot of time playing phone tag and exchanging e-mail. This trial-and-error approach can be extremely time-consuming and even frustrating.

Let The One Planner Match the Volunteers to the Needs

With The One Planner, you post what needs to get done and your volunteers can sign up for the slots that best suit their schedules and capabilities. The One Planner manages sign-ups in real time so volunteers always see the current openings and who is already on board. The One Planner's e-mail tool helps facilitate collaboration as volunteers begin to network among themselves. The Supply List feature offers the coordinator the ability to request supplies, like a certain number of drinks for the class party, paper products for the church picnic or even shovels and rakes for the neighborhood cleanup project.

Caring Communities

When someone is in need of assistance, that's when a community of friends and family can spring into action. A patient recovering from a hospital stay, an elderly person with limited mobility, a family experiencing bereavement— all of these cases can benefit from a caring community. Help might be needed in delivering meals, providing transportation, assisting with errands or in just spending quality time.

Helping the Helpers

The problem arises in trying to organize the caring intentions of family and friends. Everyone wants to help, but the key is matching the helpers with what the person or family actually needs. Having dinner delivered each night for a week might be preferable to receiving a week's worth of dinners all at once. The One Planner provides a means for the caring community to know the needs and a way to sign-up to meet them. The Supply List feature offers the community an efficient and convenient way to sign up to provide necessary supplies like groceries, toiletries or household items.

In many cases, help may be needed over several weeks, months or even longer. The One Planner is the perfect way to keep the members of the community aware of evolving needs and to keep busy helpers engaged. The One Planner offers automatic reminders and options for downloading assignments to popular calendar programs like Outlook and iCal.
