Meeting Notes

We had a follow up meeting for our social media group here at work today. Three of the managers were not present. I think I did a good job taking notes.

Setting Your Facebook Vanity URL

You've made the page, You've told your friends and family to "like" the page, and now you are ready to TELL people your url. Unfortunately facebook urls are not very attractive, with a long list of numbers, symbols, and letters. How can you get a snazzy url, like: 

www.facbook.com/MicklynnGraphicDesign

Here are 5 simple steps.

1. First, you must have 25 people that LIKE your page. (If you don't, scroll to the bottom and I'll tell you how to get more people to LIKE your page.)  
2. Visit www.facebook.com/username. Click "Set a username for your pages" You can also set a username for your personal profile here as well.    
3. Select the page you would like to set the url for. If you have several pages your are the admin for, they will all show up here. 
4. This page allows you to check the availability of urls for your page. Be careful on this part. Once the url is set, it can not be changed. If you make an error in spelling, you are going to be stuck with it. Please take your time!
5. If you desired url is available, CONGRATS, you now have a vanity url! There may be one more button to confirm. If it is not available keep trying until you find one that works. You will not be able to change your url once it is set.

What if you don't have 25 'fan' yet? Ask your friends, co-workers, and family to click that like button. :) Beg, buy them dinner, whatever you have to do. 

Good luck, and as always- please let me know if you have a specific question that I can answer. While we are at it- visit my facebook page and click that like button!

Michael Day Benefit

Raising Money For The Fight Against Muscular Dystrophy

7th Annual Benefit Poster by Micklynn Designs

I am happy to work with this amazing family. Please read this article and let me know if you'd like more information on how you can help.

Hey All,

Hope this email finds all of you well in 2010! Our Michael Day Benefit is in full swing, so you know what that means…….ENCHILADAS

I know that many of these fundraisers have gone around Wellington since last year, but this one is different than the others. Tudy has vowed to donate ALL proceeds made with this fundraiser entirely to our event. So, your money you spend on this wonderful food will be donated entirely to our cause!!

For those of you that need some background information: Michael Day was my brother and was afflicted with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. He lost his battle with his disease in 2003 at the age of 21 and since then, we have held this benefit in his memory. To make the story even more personal, in 2005 we found out that my 7 year old son Ethan also has this same devastating disease. What started out as an event in memory of Michael, has turned into our HOPE for Ethan. We appreciate the support you all have given us over these last years!!

Great Food - Very Good Cause

In the last 7 years, we’ve donated over $50,000 to MDA of which a majority of that money has been through this enchilada sale because you all love Tudy and Neives’ food so much!! This year, Tudy has given us a goal of selling 500 dozen enchiladas! With your help, I think we can do it!

I’ve attached information on our pricing for this year. Email me back with your order. Please feel free to forward this email to as many people as you think might be interested. We will take business group orders together and will deliver these business orders at the same time. If you have a group of co-workers that want to order, please take the orders and send one email with everyone and we will deliver them to you instead of you having to pick them up! Isn’t that great service?!

I’ve also attached a flyer for our benefit on Saturday, August 28th. If you aren’t busy, please come out and check out the bands this year! We have 3 great bands including a country band, a blues band and a rock/alternative band. A band for everyone’s taste! Everything we make on this day is donated to our cause.

Again, we appreciate your support!!

Thanks again,

Stormie Higginbotham
