Family and Friends Hear All About the New Baby... Minutes After Her Birth!

Challenge: How can a new father notify everyone of the arrival of the baby without forgetting someone?

Solution: During calmer moments before the birth of their newborn, the father called and established a CallingPost account. He added the names and phone numbers of those who needed to be notified after the birth.

Benefit: Within minutes of Miss Hillary's arrival, all family members and friends were able to hear the details personally from the jubilant father. Meanwhile, Hillary's daddy was able to spend this important time with his wife and new daughter instead of on the phone.

"As an officer in the Family Readiness Group for my husband's National Guard Unit, I immediately set up a CallingPost account when my husband's unit deployed. We used CallingPost to send out vital information about upcoming meetings, support events, training sessions and most importantly HOMECOMING. With over 200 families to contact CallingPost was the only viable option since our families were located throughout the state. Thank you..."
