BandonCares is sponsoring Social Media 101: Content Creation and Community Connection, presented by Alexa Carey of Rural Development Initiatives. This workshop is set for Thursday, July 16, 2015, at the Bandon Community Center (The Barn). This workshop is free.

Social media is an invaluable tool when used effectively – most of us dabble in it with our personal lives but struggle to take that next step and engage on an organizational or business level. These online mediums can help successfully promote special events, highlight local businesses, engage community members, as well as connect users and families. This presentation will add social media tools to your marketing and outreach toolkit, including best practices and content creation strategies for Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, and more. Come with a laptop, mobile device, and/or notepad to this interactive session.

The morning starts with registration at 9 AM with Social Media 101 starting at 9:30. This will be followed by lunch provided by BandonCares. In the afternoon, we move to Social Media 201 for those that want to delve deeper into these tools.

Registration can be done on-line at www.bandoncares.org/register. Further information is available from Harv Schubothe at (541) 297-2342.

This is the last call. We need a head count today!
