Do you still have a million things to do before the end of this year? Like finally updating your LinkedIn profile or teaching your mom how to use Facebook? One of my goals for 2012 was to get more involved in Des Moines and do a bit more networking. Thanks to the Social Media Club of Des Moines (SMCDSM), I've actually managed to cross that one off my to-do list before 2013!

So if you're hanging out this week wishing you had a few more friends or new people to follow on Instagram, think of us. The SMCDSM is perfect for networking as well as socializing. Afterall, "social" is part of our name.

So use those bucks left in this year's budget and become a professional member of the SMCDSM. Your boss will love it and you'll get to "work" while learning about new technology and building a base of peers who are doing exactly what you are. Join us, ask questions and learn something new today. (If you need to point out the highlights of a membership, check this out! https://socialmediaclub.org/membership)

If you're "the boss," give your team a holiday gift of a SMCDSM small business or corporate membership. We have exciting plans for 2013 and you won't want to miss it.

Other questions or just need help filling out your profile? Contact me, your Membership Director, Katie Bradshaw for more info. And don't forget to RSVP for our next event on December 11th! http://socialmediaclub.org/event/using-social-media-maximize-your-trades...
