Helpmate and OneCallNow
Helpmate Technology Solutions (HTS) has partnered with OneCallNow (formerly MyTeam1). OneCallNow provides a totally "hardware-free" phone tree system that allows churches and other organizations to send phone messages to their members with ease. OneCallNow provides a toll-free phone number for the "sender" to call in and record their outgoing message.   This message is then immediately delivered by phone to all members - or only to a selected subset. This phone service has proven to be a very effective tool in streamlining communication efforts for churches around the nation. HTS has partnered with OneCallNow to provide direct integration between the HTS Church Helpmate church management software system and the OneCallNow phone service - adding further value to their church clients. While other phone tree services have been available to churches for years, this solution is the first of its kind in combining a church management software system with a totally hardware-free phone service.

SnowMasters T-1600
SnowMasters has introduced its newest product, the T-1600 evaporative snow machine. The stand-alone operation of controls gives the flexibility of DMX onboard, stand-alone or a 30-foot hard wire remote. One very unique feature is the built-in cycle timer. Using the timer, the T-1600 will turn on and off without the assistance of a hardwire remote.   The unit is truss mountable and weighs less than 70 pounds. The T-1600 truly gives you complete control of flake size from a light flurry to a heavy snowfall. The most unique aspect of the T-1600 is the evaporative nature of the snow. You can set the machine to create a constant snowfall without any residue or buildup. The controller can adjust the size of flake. By doing this, one can control the evaporation time of the flake to evaporate before it hits the floor. Evaporative Snow is amazing, because the flakes have little to no moisture.
