SOCIAL MEDIA CLUB OF CACHE VALLEY TO MEET FOR QUARTERLY “TWEET-UP”
LOGAN, Utah – The Social Media Club of Cache Valley (SMCCV) will be gathering on Tuesday at 6:30 at Café Sabor to educate people about social media, like Facebook and Twitter. The club is very hands-on, and everybody is welcome to attend the meetings. These meetings provide excellent networking opportunities with people who have professional experience with social media.
The SMCCV is a non-profit organization that is very focused on helping people. Not only can people benefit from the club, but businesses in Cache Valley come to find out how to better promote themselves. The club doesn’t do the social media for people or businesses, but it provides an education and gives people an opportunity to apply what they learn. Preston Parker, President of SMCCV, said that “most members are trying to promote themselves or their organizations … there tends to be a reason for why they want to learn about social media.”
The club meets every month on the second Tuesday, and once a quarter SMCCV meets at Café Sabor for a “tweet up,” a night where the members focus mainly on Twitter and spend time “tweeting” back and forth. For the months that the club isn’t at Café Sabor, the club meets at Borders.
The meetings aren’t just theoretical, philosophical discussions, SMCCV has fun at their meetings too. They get together once a month and discuss a variety of topics and share ideas, they have door prizes, name tags, and they like to give stuff away.
SMCCV was started in August of 2009 after Preston Parker and two of his colleagues went to a social media conference in Salt Lake City, Utah. This conference made an impression on the three men and they decided that Cache Valley could benefit from a club of its own. All seven of the board members are volunteers, and they all have previous experience consulting as individual for social media.
