About Townconnect
Family life can be chaotic. Parents working longer hours, children with multiple scheduled activities per day and less time to manage it all. Technology helps but now families face information overload- cell phone numbers, emails, blackberrys, class lists, team rosters, group directories, and the good old paper calendar in the kitchen.
TownConnect keeps families in the loop. We help members and organizations manage the quantity of life so they can improve the quality of their lives with friends, family and in their community. Our goal is to make it safe, easy and fun for people to communicate and share information online. TownConnect uses social networking technology to provide a secure, private, place online for families and relatives, teachers & classes, coaches & teams and other town groups.
Who are the people in your town? What was Allison’s husband and kids’ names? What is Jane’s email and cell phone number? When is the game this weekend? TownConnect saves you time, helps you answer these questions, avoid the embarrassment of forgetting names and maybe help turn an acquaintance into a friend.
