The Family Information Center

Our family has a white binder that we call, “THE BOOK.” Our binder is by our main phone area and holds all of our important papers, phone numbers, and information.

It is a wonderful asset to me, because it keeps me organized as well as well-informed on any and all school or activity-related information. If it’s a weekly note from one of my children’s teachers; I simply pull it out of its clear page protector and insert the new weekly letter. This way I always keep current information on hand.

You can keep a master notebook as well. Include:

*Neighbor’s phone numbers
*Notes from school teachers
*All relevent doctor numbers and information
*Activity or School Volunteer calendars
*School Handbooks
*Email Addresses
*Phone Numbers of your children’s friends in addition to their parents names
*Carry-out menus
*Church Directories
*Team Schedules
and more.

Any time someone in our family needs certain information and we say, “it’s in THE BOOK” – everyone knows exactly what book we are talking about.

It’s a simply way to keep us all on target and informed.
