Helping Hands Website

HI ALL-
For those of you who have not been swinging hammers in the remodel preparation at LizAnn's house, here are some other opportunities to provide a 'helping hand'! A webpage has been created to help organize some of LizAnn's daily/weekly/monthly needs, to help her (and her family) smoothly transition and settle back into her life in Bozeman. Some general info about the website is below:

"Lotsa Helping Hands" — is a simple, immediate way for friends, family, colleagues, and neighbors to assist loved ones in need. It’s an easy-to-use, private group calendar, specifically designed for organizing helpers, where everyone can pitch in with meal delivery, rides, and other tasks necessary for life to run smoothly during times of medical crisis, necessary caring, or family caregiver exhaustion. It's also a place to keep the "circles of community" informed with status updates, photo galleries, message boards, and more. (the later will prob. be more to date on LK's web/blog site)
Visit our community 'helping hands' site for LizAnn!
To start the registration process, click on the link below, and enter your email address under “Interested in becoming a member of this community??? http://www.lotsahelpinghands.com/c/608489/

Once you've logged on to LizAnn's Helping Hands site, poke around, click on the calendar button. Any green highlighted date means there is a task looking for a volunteer to help out. below the calendar there are a list of tasks (meals, chores, cleaning, shoveling...). You can click on this as well and sign yourself up. Each task has a different leader to contact if you have questions. The site is pretty self explanatory and will send email reminders 1 month, 1 week and 1 day in advance for those tasks you signed up for! The calendar goes through December. We will let folks know when we've added tasks or when LizAnn has moved from Merry McKenney's to her own house.

On behalf of the Kudrna family and LK herself, Thank you for your thoughtful assistance AND for your patience in taking one more 'web-step'! We'll keep you posted on LizAnn's arrival date.
