SMCLK: 715 Restaurant Luncheon Recap
RECAP: Solutions Meeting with Douglas County Dental Clinic
Today's Social Media Club of Lawrence meeting featured the Douglas County Dental Clinic as the subject of our popular monthly solutions meeting.
The Douglas County Dental Clinic is a local non-profit organization with roots in Health Care Access, another local non-profit. The Dental Clinic began in October, 2001, as a mostly volunteer organization after a need for free or low-cost dental care was identified. In the first year, the Clinic saw 53 patients. Last year, they saw 6100. Approximately half of their patients are children. The Clinic will see patients who have income up to 200% of the federal poverty level.
RECAP: Presentation by Annie Noll, Ottawa University
Our first meeting in our new location- Java Break- featured Annie Noll, social media specialist at Ottawa University, presenting to a packed room of Social Media Club members.
Annie started her job at Ottawa in September, 2009. The position of social media specialist was newly created, so she started with nothing: no Facebook, Twitter, or any other social media sites for Ottawa existed, other than rogue sites created by fans. Since there was no social media precedent for her to follow, her motto has been "live and learn" as she has built up their social media strategy.
