SUBJECT: Social Crew 2002: downtownATL - It's all about COMMUNITY
baby!!
Hello Crew!
(and HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!)
LONG time no e! Hope that everyone’s year is kicking off RIGHT! I have taken a hiatus from the newsletter and web site to focus on my job (Yes, I definitely have a real one! Sprint’s Global Markets Group is the place to be!!) and my community service projects. Thanks to everyone who sent well wishes and wanted to make sure they hadn’t been dropped.
BUT I’m back,
and the weekly newsletter is OPEN FOR BUSINESS! I am very excited to share that the format is
metamorphasizing (I’ve been studying up on really big words, too! Or maybe just creating them –
Billy Gates’ spell check doesn’t like that one AT ALL).
Social Crew 2002 will be “downtownATL”. This is much more appropriate as the primary focus of the
site (coming soon) and newsletter is to publicize hip events and opportunities
to build community in and around the downtown Atlanta area.
Looking for a little
more variety in your geography?
Not to fret! The
downtownATL site will continue to provide links to other superb resources
highlighting events/opportunities throughout the larger Metro area. Speaking of which, the newest addition
(and an VERY impressive one at that!) is “Atlanta Illustrated”
(http://www.atlantaillustrated.com).
AI brings you credible coverage and weekly updates on the best social
events, parties, and networking opportunities for young professionals in and
around Metro Atlanta, with features including Super Doppler Party Radar, Party
Pictures and Social Commentary.
CHECK IT OUT!
My love and blessings
to you all! Hope to see ya real
soon downtownATL.
