Invitation to free new website that helps moms better manage their kids’ group activities

Hello Mommies,

I am a fellow member of the Mommies Network and the creator of a new website called 

Podanize, which helps moms, dads and group leaders better organize their kids'

group activities (e.g. soccer, scouts, school classes, etc.)

Kids today are overscheduled, and keeping up is a challenge:  

• What day did I volunteer at school to go read with the kids? 

• Who is driving to the scout meeting? 

• When am I signed up to bring the team's snacks?  

These are just a few of the many little details that busy parents have to keep straight.  

Try as we might, something inevitably falls through the cracks.  We all need a little help 

to stay organized. 

I’d like to invite you to join our brand new website.  To join, just go to http://

www.podanize.com and click Get Started to create a "Pod" for any real-world group, or 

even just your family for now. You can create a Pod if you’re a group leader or a group 

member. It’s quick, easy and free.  Then "get your Pod going" by adding discussions 

or events, and inviting others to join your Pod.  Podanize can also be accessed via a 

mobile browser, and our mobile app will be available in late 2013. 

Our mission at Podanize is to help ease the stress that comes with keeping our 

kids active and involved.  To this end, we welcome any feedback you have.  Podanize 

is for you and is built to get better over time by adding your suggestions – I’d love 

to hear from you. Also, if you know of other moms (or dads) who might benefit from 

Podanize, please share this with them.

Podanize is ideal for all extra-curricular activities: soccer, little league, playgroups, scout 

troops, swim teams, theater groups, school classes, PTA, etc. The list is endless and 

includes anything with a need for ongoing communication and coordination.

Again, just go to http://www.podanize.com to get started.

Best,

Nikki Sacks

Co-Founder of Podanize

Want to Help Make a Difference?

More than 30,000 women have been touched by The Mommies Network. Our members have found friends when lonely, help when needy, answers when confused, comfort when grieving. All this is possible through 84 chapters nationwide that provide a safe and FREE place for moms to meet online and in real life.




Little things mean a lot to moms. That's why we are asking you to share your story and our fundraising campaign to help us grow and improve. Every $10 donation helps us connect moms to the resources they need to change the world - one family, one neighborhood, one community at a time. Each social media share, on average, helps us get $18 closer to our goal. So, please, take a moment to give us a boost.

Thanks for helping us make a difference for mommies, families, and communities across the country.

TheMommiesNetwork Annual Appeal

Moms just like you are finding support, encouragement, and friendship every day on The Mommies Network. What started with two new moms ten years ago has grown into a nationwide network of over 30,000 women! Where will we be in ten years?



We are dedicated to providing valuable connections to all moms at no charge. In order to continue that, and to expand and improve our network, we rely on generous donations from the communities we reach. Please take a moment to view our fundraising campaign and share it via social media or word-of-mouth. Just $10 keeps our network running for 80 minutes. That's enough time for a lonely mom to find a friend, a struggling mom to find support, a grieving mom to find a hug, and a searching mom to find answers.

Thank you for supporting the network that supports moms. We are excited about sharing the next ten years with you!
