SMCC is Taking a Summer Break!

It’s time for sunscreen, travel, and fun! School’s out and we all are ready for a vacation. In honor of summer break, Social Media Club is taking a break too!

Until next time, we want your input! We have a 3 question survey.

The information we gather will help us make our meetings better! Click here to take the survey.

We’ll be in touch soon with more information on our June meeting. See you soon!

Subway of South Carolina now serves breakfast! To get you eating the most important meal of the day, they’re offering everyone free breakfast! Come in to any South Carolina Subway on May 13th between 7:00 and 11:00 AM, and you’ll receive a free English muffin melt and an 8 oz. drink!

Also, Subway of South Carolina wants to support our local non-profit organizations. You can help them by participating in their social media contest on your favorite social networks (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace, etc.).

To enter, here’s what you have to do:

1) Decide on a non-profit. This can be your favorite school, charity, or 501C3 organization.
2) Know the location of the non-profit you’ve chosen.
3) Post in your favorite social media site using the hashtag #subwaysc and a hashtag for the city where the non-profit is located.

Here’s an example: On May 13, nominate fav charity to win $500 SUBWAY Card. Tweet charity name, #(City) where based & #subwaysc. See www.subwaysc.com

A few contest specifics:

On May 13, SUBWAY asks people to tweet their favorite local charity or school* via Twitter to nominate that nonprofit to win a $500 SUBWAY® Card. Five nonprofits with the greatest number of tweeters/tweets will win! Nominate as many nonprofits as you like, but please only two tweets per nonprofit. * 501c3 (Charity) or educational institutions in South Carolina or Augusta, GA market qualify; one winner per market.
To be counted, tweet nonprofit name and hashtag for city where the nonprofit is located – Example: #Columbia – along with hashtag #subwaysc.
Nominations will be taken during the 24-hour period on May 13, starting 12:00 a.m. EDT (midnight) and ending at 11:59 p.m. the same day.
The charities with the greatest number of tweets (nominations) in the Upstate, Midlands, Lowcountry, Pee Dee/Grand Strand and Central Savannah River Area will each receive the prize – a $500 SUBWAY® Card. That will buy a lot of breakfast sandwiches and coffee for the charity.
