Good Afternoon All:

You are cordially invited to YouthPlaces Social Media Day Luncheon, where local children-serving groups and Pittsburgh's biggest social media names will be on site to socialize and network over good company and great food.  The luncheon will be held Thursday, November 6, 2014, beginning promptly at 12:00 PM Noon.  YouthPlaces is located at 711 West Commons Pittsburgh, PA 15212.

Darrell "Tuffy" Kinsel will present briefly about his social media presence.  Between balancing a flourishing art collection and representing a national non-profit entity, Mr. Kinsel has been recognized by the Pittsburgh City Paper as one of the top Twitter pages in the area.

In addition to Mr. Kinsel's presentation, there will be door prizes and opportunities to engage with attendees via social media using hashtags #IAMYP #YPSocialMediaDay #YPHBCUCollegeFair.  Lastly, the promotion and social media traffic for your personal and/or professional social media pages are invaluable.

Attached is more information about YP Social Media Day and their second annual HBCU college fair.  Please RSVP by Wednesday, November 5th.  Lastly, please feel free to forward this email to your colleagues who may be interested in this event.

I look forward to seeing everyone next Thursday.

afterschool programs for teens in high-risk, underserved communities. Beginning with five sites

funders, key stakeholders and community.
