Thanksgiving Thanks

My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. For me, Thanksgiving kicks off 30+ days of reminding me how fortunate I am. Every day, there is something I can jot down on my list of thanks and appreciation.

In honor of Thanksgiving and keeping with a social media theme, I’m thankful for a website I use frequently – GoodReads – it keeps track of what I’m reading, what I want to read, what others are reading and links up with my social media channels. I’m also thankful for my Twitterfeed and Google Reader, which keeps me updated on news and current events. Regarding family, I’m thankful that almost everyone in my family and extended family knows how to use email.

Read on as a few of our Board members share what they are thankful for this year.

I’m thankful for my health, sanity and family & friends. – Kat Calbes

i [sic] am thankful for my nephews and nieces who remind me of what is important! people! – Natalie Petouhoff

Things I am thankful for – besides my family and friends, of course – my iPhone and… apps including Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare and Words With Friends!  – Laura Knapp

I am thankful for the hive-minded mentality found within the Social Media Club! – Serena Ehrlich

What are you thankful for?

December 15: Tequila, Wine, Gravity Summit and SMCLA!

Gravity Summit

What do tequila and wine tastings, guest speaker Carrie White, our friends at Gravity Summit and SMCLA have in common? They’re the ingredients to this year’s holiday party!

We have partnered with the wonderful Beverly Macy and her Gravity Summit team for a wonderful evening at the Luxe Rodeo Beverly Hills on Thursday, December 5th. A portion of your $10 ticket goes to Toys for Tots – so log into Eventbrite and buy your ticket!

This is also the kick-off event for Gravity Summit’s fourth annual Social Media Marketing Conference on Sports and Social Media. If you haven’t attended, this is your chance to get to know the group and consider attending the conference. (Use the code: EARLYBIRD and get 50% off your registration.)

Tell us what you would like to see or hear next year on our panels. Tell us who your favorite social media resources are. Tell us you want to volunteer with us!
