Holy Cow! I think Jooners might be the best discovery of the summer for me. This week is Vacation Bible School for our church. This means lots in the way of organization for our large church and all the volunteers that are taking part in the week. I was completely amazed when I received an email organizing snack volunteers from Jooners. Have you heard of it before? Not me.
Jooners is an on-line service with minimal fee to join that organizes you for any event…snack volunteers at VBS, classroom volunteers, block party, fundraiser, sports teams…any need to you have to organize a group, Jooners has a way to do it. Once you join, you select what type of sign-up sheet you need. You can be as specific and detailed as you would like. Then, email the list to your group and everyone can sign up via their email…whether it be attendance, snack responsibilities, money. (Jooners does accept club payments thru Amazon accounts!) Jooners also provides a link to use if you prefer to organize sign-ups via a website location, as well. When my email came a couple weeks ago, I signed up to bring juice on Monday. Last Friday, I received an automatic reminder from Jooners of what I volunteered to bring and on what day I said I would bring it. For the traditionalist in me, Jooners also provides a “Thank-you” note function to thank all your volunteers. Amazing!
After all the sign-ups I have been a part of, this seems like something that someone should have thought of years ago. Not only does it prevent duplicate sign ups, but it is organized, removes the “paper”, and even allows you to make payments (for uniforms or trophies, for instance) to your organizer. Anyone who likes to be organized will love this website! I can’t say enough for the time it saves. Moms…spread the word. This will change the lives of the “PTA Mom” for sure. Watch their “Tour” and see what you think.
This is awesome!! Thanks!
