Details
Please join us for our first meeting of our NetSquared Twin Cities Meetup, hosted by the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits!
Our first Meetup will be a meet-and-greet to find out who is interested in using the social web for social good in Minnesota. We'll meet each other, discuss projects, and chat a little about our hopes/needs/wants for regularly convening this group. We can also discuss resources and look at ways that NetSquared, Tech Soup, and other resources (both local and national) can serve our needs as nonprofit tech folk.
We also plan to have fun and have a chance to meet new people in the Twin Cities area. MCN will provide food and refreshments, and we look forward to seeing you there!

Teri
"This diverse group of individuals is an opportunity for someone with a heart for social change and a desire to use technology as a tool to encourage positive change. I am not a technological wiz kid, but a middle-aged babyboomer woman, and I found the group to be welcoming and encouraging in the belief that all of us --no matter who we are-- can learn to use technology as a positive tool.
