Jamine,

Thanks for getting this going.  I am looking forward to another session or sessions at Myrtle Beach as well as lively conversation in the forum. 

I want everyone else to know that you are probably the pacesetter for using Volgistics.  I certainly appreciate your support and counsel as we transitioned from Volworks to Volgistics.  Volgistics is a very user friendly system.

I will again offer to do a session to introduce Volgistics to non- or new users, if you will do a session for advanced users in Myrtle Beach.  Just as long as they are not scheduled for the same time, I don't want to miss out on anything new you are doing.

 

I will also start off the discussion by asking how many Volgistics users out there are using the email all active volunteers to send newsletters and reorientation materials?  We are at Children's of Alabama and it has certainly cut cost of paper, printing and postage.

 

Thanks,

Frank

I have sent all 2011 Volunteer Newsletters via Volgistics email. I have received a very good response from my volunteers. More than 75% have email. We print and post a few copies at key locations for those with no email.  No pushback, no problems. Lots of savings in time and money. I say go for it. Eileen

A question to all Volgistics users.  We are considering transitioning from VR to Volgistics and are interested in using the email option.  How many email addresses can you send to on one message.  We have 900 volunteers and today have to break them into groups and send separately.  Could I send to all 900 simultaneously?

Thank you for your information.

I have used volgistics to send the newsletter, then run labels off the list it generates for those who do not have email.  That cuts down on a lot of paper.  I also use the program to send quick notices and forms.  I also use VicTouch to send birthday cards and greetings.  

I run  pictoral director for vols that cost nothing!
