New meaning to the term  “... in a New York minute!”

Challenge: How to inform parents concerning pick-up times when the Girl Scout Troop spontaneously decided to squeeze an extra trip in to the Empire State Building after having a great day of seeing the sites in New York City.

Solution: A simple toll-free call to CallingPost with a cell phone while standing on the corner of Times Square was all that was needed to inform every parent of the new pick up time back home in Pennsylvania!

Benefit: In less than a New York minute, every parent was informed of the extra excursion and the schedule change allowing adequate time for the parents to reschedule the pickup of their sight-seeing scouts.

"I am a Girl Scout Leader of 11 girls and believe me… they (both, the parents and girls) rely on the CallingPost! If I do not send a message, then I get "reprimanded"! Making telephone calls to a list of people is very time consuming, especially when one does not have the time to make the calls anyway. Plus, it can be a hassle when someone does not have an answering machine. "
