SMCDSM News - January 4, 2012

Greetings SMCDSMers! And Happy New Year!

Are you all recovered from the caucus yet? Anyone suffering from a political hangover?

We just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who turned out at the Social Media Club Breakfastlast Thursday at Palmer's on Ingersoll. We had an excellent turn out and the event was a great success! You guys represented SMCDSM wonderfully.

We also want to thank those of you who utilized your networks to help promote the event on Twitter and Facebook. Your RTs and shares helped get the word out about a very important event with very short notice! We couldn't be happier with the outcome!

If you weren't able to attend the event but are curious as to how it all played out, be sure to check out this video put together by SMCDSM member Michael Libbe for some behind-the-scenes footage! It's very cool!

Switching gears, we have a few events lined up for 2012 coming up in the next few weeks that you can check out on our Events Calendar. But we have one on Friday that you should definitely consider attending.

Friday, January 6

#CIB - Central Iowa Bloggers, 7:00 - 9:00 AM
Panera Bread, 6740 University Avenue, West Des Moines

New to this one, or perhaps you know the drill? Swing by Panera on University, come meet a few new people, learn what they're blogging about, share a tip or two of your own. This might also be a great opportunity to catch up on last week's Social Media Breakfast and learn more about the event from the people who were there.

Just a reminder: CIB meets the first Friday of every month. Pencil it in on your calendar if you can't make it this Friday!

 That's all we have for today. But we're very excited about 2012 and the education and networking opportunities that will be available to all SMCDSM members.

Best wishes and may 2012 greet you warmly!
