Hi,

My company, RecDesk (http://recdesk.com), provides both a public facing website and back-end Program Mgt/Online Registration for our customers. Program and Facility updates are reflecte real-time on the public facing web site and departments can add/update content on the public site to meet their needs. Some examples are:

We're a fully hosted/web based provider that's been around since 2005.

Here is Salt Lake County's Parks and Recreation website:

http://www.recreation.slco.org/

Here is Mansfield, Massachusetts website:

www.mansfieldma.com/parkrec.html

It is run by the town administrator. To post items, we have to send them to him. We can, however, update our calendar on our own.

I just wanted to make sure all of you know about RecWave's group functionality for smaller offices that either have a small budget or no budget.

It takes about 2 minutes to create a Group on recwave.com right here: http://recwave.com/og

You can create a public group, a moderated group for your office / region / state, etc. As you can see it has been a fairly popular tool here at RecWave in the first month (many groups already formed) because of the following:

1. It's FREE! (like all of Recwave)
2. You can easily invite colleagues / friends by using the invite button in the group once you form it (just by pasting in e-mails)
3. You can easily upload a file (Group File) to share with the group to get feedback
4. You can easily create a Group Post that starts a discussion with your group
5. You can easily post an event (Group Event) to the group for others to see and / or notify that they are attending
6. All users that join the group are automatically notified over e-mail when someone posts something new to the group (file, event, discussion, etc)

If any of you are having trouble setting up a group or are curious about how it exactly works and how it could help your office / district / region / state be more efficient feel free to drop me an e-mail at Patrick@recwave.com and we can even set up a short call -- I'd be happy to take a few minutes to get you set up. There is really no need to use mail listservers / newsletters to communicate with colleagues anymore when we are providing a free online group where you can upload and share files, events and have discussions related to Rec & Parks. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!
Patrick
