[Highland Park] Social Media Seminar for Organizations, Small Business/Non-Profits, etc. (Sorry, no wine this time.)
by Brian Shope 10 Dec '12

10 Dec '12

This Thursday, Dec. 13th from 1-3pm, is another opportunity for some direction on navigating the social web as an entrepreneur, non-profit, organization, etc. You can find the same info and sign up at the Facebook event (link just below), or email me back with your reservation, questions, etc. Have a good work week! http://www.facebook.com/events/489182337770867/ _________________________________________________ I know many of us are sole proprietors or independent contractors, work in small non-profit organizations, and are business/community leaders in our respective organizations. We might not be able to hire someone in social media communications, or aren't sure if we need to use it. Our last seminar was an overview of the culture and how it affects organizations and marketing. After some feedback, this next one will be much lighter on culture, and more experiential and practical. I will be sending each parti cipant a questionnaire for some feedback about what you would like to learn while together, about your industry or specialty, etc. Two hours is not very long, but I will attempt to meet as many desires as possible. Here's what you will walk away with: - Knowing the difference between social mediums and "traditional mediums" - Differences in expectations and practice in marketing as it pertains to the above - Set up at least one account for your organization, business, non-profit, etc. - Learned by doing! Navigating your account/s as a business (as different than personally) on whatever platform/s we use - Specific needs as defined by group via questionnaire or during the seminar Bring your notebook/laptop or tablet, although the former is better. A smartphone will get you through in a pinch, if that's your only portable device. (If you have more than one, bring them! Things appear different on different devices.) Sign up by joining the event, or email me (address below). We have limited space the Union Project, so reserving your spot will be most helpful. The cost for sign up is $20 preregistered, and $25 at the door. I'll have a receipt available for your for tax purposes as well.#BigBrotherIsWatching<https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?tab=Xm#13b5dbe7809d5c3b_> Cash and check accepted; PayPal can also be used for advance payment. (Payment is due at signup to hold your spot and keep the pre-pay rate, up to Wed., December 12th. Payment rendered on the 13th will be at the $25 rate.) My email address for info, or for PayPal: brian(dot)shope[at]gmail(dot)com Hit up the wall for any questions, or email me!

[Highland Park] kegerator/draught beer system parts for sale
by Kelly Wilkinson 10 Dec '12

10 Dec '12

Hello neighbors. Is anyone interesting in some parts for a kegerator/draught beer system? I have recently upgraded my set up and have parts that would get you well on your way to your own system. I have an extra faucet (never used), a tower with shanks included, insulation tubing (never used), extra beer and air lines (never used), old regulator, and an old pump. You would have to get a coupler/tap. I’m asking $75 for all of it (or best offer). Picture included.
