Are you getting value from the emailed agenda enhancements?

Steve,
Yes. District 29 has added an elective for FreeToastHost at our TLI's. It was useful and I've implemented several changes. I've found that by just inserting the firstname in the e-mail, responses have increased 50%. Thanks for all your efforts!

Thank you for providing such a wonderful way for our members to communicate about, check and complete the upcoming meetings agendas.

We like the enhancements.

Thank you.

Steve... Where do I find the quick response links that you are referencing. Thanks...Don S 3577689

Yes. Works in getting members to agree to take assigned role, plus allows for members to indicate they are unavailable. Much better response rate than just sending out agenda. Club still uses the meeting notes area for members to indicate weeks in advance their ability to take on roles. Newer members need to be taught to use the FTH Members site. Please make additional enhancements as necessary. I give short information sessions as necessary.

YES INDEED!! I am a first time VPE and I am using the email feature to remind of upcoming meetings and encourage the members to sign up. Unfortunately, we have mostly new members, so it also takes a phone call, bribery, extortion (just kidding) BUT they all respond with "I'll go to your email and sign up". So, THANK YOU for both the ability to email the agenda, and the ability to sign up for a role via the emailed agenda or indicate their absence.
It would be really great if there was an easier way to email a signup sheet weeks in advance without the member having to go to each individual agenda - maybe something like the attached spreadsheet, with the 'claimed' roles auto-filled in and links to sign up for the unfilled roles. I also appreciate the ability to print the agenda from the website. Previously, we were editing a document template every time. I would suggest being able to customize the header.

Yes, I've created an account just to log in and advise it's useful and greatly appreciated.
