This thing has been great for communicating with the family! Everette 18" x 18" Magnetic Monthly Calendar Dry Erase Board with White Woodgrain Frame, Included Dry Erase Marker and 2 Magnets is a must have! My mother helps us get the kids on and off the bus a few times a week. We schedule her , me and the wife for duty . We can also put important dates down for the kids sporting events which let's everyone know what's going on. It hangs in the hallway by the house -garage man door for all to see! I highly recommend you get one!
