SMCDSM News - December 27, 2011

Greetings SMCDSMers!

We hope that all of you have enjoyed a pleasant holiday as 2011 comes to a close. We have news about a VERY SPECIAL EVENT happening THIS THURSDAY. So I'll get out of the way and tell you the important information you need to know if you want to participate!

Thursday, December 19

Social Media Club Breakfast - 7:00 to 9:00 AM
Palmer's Deli and Market, 2843 Ingersoll Ave, Des Moines 

We're having our normal SMCDSM breakfast this month, with an interesting twist. We were contacted by the producers of CNN recently and they asked if they could come to our event to interview GOP caucus-goers, independents and undecideds to ask some questions and find a few interesting people to invite on their morning show the week of the caucus.

So if you would like to talk to a CNN producer about your choice for the GOP caucus, or your particular "issue" then you will want to come to our Social Media Club Des Moines breakfast on Thursday at Palmer's on Ingersoll, 7 a.m. - 9 a.m.

Breakfast is "buy your own" off the Palmer's yummy breakfast menu. As always, everyone is welcome. Palmers is located at 2843 Ingersoll in Des Moines.

If you would like to be pre-screened by the producers, please answer these questions and send them to  Karrah.Kaplan@turner.com.

Pretty cool, right? It's not every day you get the opportunity to be interviewed by a global news agency!

It would be fantastic for Social Media Club Des Moines if we can demonstrate a strong presence at our breakfast event. If you're free Thursday morning, we STRONGLY encourage you to attend. We want to see as many people there as possible. So please be sure to share this event among your networks - through Twitter, through Facebook or whatever floats your boat. We need your help to spread the word.
