Join us for our webinar Social Media for Beginners on Thursday, July 13 at 7 pm.

Perhaps you are perfectly comfortable using Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other social media forums.  Or perhaps, like me, you are puzzled when  it comes to posting information and sharing posts that you feel are important for friends and family to see.

Johnny and Greg will introduce us to the ins and outs of Facebook and other social  media platforms.  What does it mean when Facebook says, Share to Feed, Share to Your Story (public)?  Find out on July 13 from two folks who know what they are talking about, and can help you to understand this whole other language!

Don’t miss this one hour beginner’s webinar!   Many of you who answered our survey back in March said you’d like to learn more about social media.  You asked, and we responded!  Register now.  You will receive a link so that you can join the webinar on July 13.
