Baltimore Yearly Meeting is sponsoring a day-long workshop on Feb 28th (snow date Mar. 14th) at Langley Hill Friends Meeting focusing on how Friends can use new electronic media to be visible and invite newcomers to attend. Participants will learn how to make their Meeting web page more effective and use social media like Facebook and Twitter to help Millennials find them. A professional with years of experience crafting Web page and social media content will join us to share their knowledge. Group exercises will focus on how to write for this new media to connect with young adults, new parents and others. We will also brainstorm outreach strategies and share best practices. The workshop goal is that each Meeting have a workable outreach plan and the knowledge to implement it. To ensure enough space for all participants, please register prior to Feb 15. Registrations received past that date will be considered if space is available. To register email gensec@bym-rsf.org. If you have questions, please contact the BYM office. The directions and workshop schedule can be found at www.LangleyHillQuakers.org. The workshop will start at 9:30 am and end at 4pm. Participants are asked to bring something for a pot luck or brown bag lunch.
