SMC Phoenix Plans Program for 2009, Supports TwestivalPhx

We
held a somewhat truncated meeting this month so that we could support
@chrislee and #TwestivalPhx, which was conveniently down the street
from our meeting.

The speakers were Bob Hubbard from Hubbard Swim School and a child representing the Foundation for Blind Children's initiative to take a group of blind children to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro.  They are trying to raise funds through a web site, and we are going to help them with our combined talents.

@dbarnart suggested a Twitter site where we could follow the kids up Kilimanjaro, and @A_F, who has just moved to Phoenix, volunteered his time to develop a strategy.

After
that touching talk about how the Foundation for Blind Children empowers
both parents and children, we crowdsourced the agenda for the next few
months:

March: signal v. noise (Brian Roy and JustSignal)
April: SXSW wrap-up and de-brief (Jeff Moriarty, Francine Hardaway, and others who attend SXSWi)
May: The Launch of the Social Media Bible
June: Social media as strategy vs. social media PR – Andy Kaufman

At
that point someone suggested we accept suggestions from people who did
not attend #SMCPhx because they were at #TwestivalPhx (or anywhere
else).

So we are accepting suggestions for the rest of the year's
programs. Please add a comment below, or email me at
