[civsa] Tour Guide Reminders

[Camille Wilson]

Hi,

We use a web-based software called Humanity. It's great! You can build
shifts and add notes. It also sends students both reminder emails and
texts. It's also great for running different reports if you're looking to
pull out data. It's not free but they do have customizable plans to fit
different budgets.

Thanks,

Camille
