New Social Networks and Marketing

This morning I sit and begin to ponder what I need to be working on. My 3 1/2 month old son is taking a nap; not sure for how long so I am getting in my blog posting while the getting is good.

I have been updating Twitter, FaceBook and LWL profiles most of the morning between feeding, changing and trying to grap a bit to eat myself all while giving my two dogs some much needed interaction as well as their own breakfast.

I found a few new social networks this morning through a connection I just made here through the Twitter listing for LWL members. While visiting Angelice Tyson's website Gemini Greetings I was able to link through to a few new sources of social networking geared towards moms and children.

The whole time I was thinking about Sponsor a Teacher Program and that these new social networks is where I need to be marketing this program and getting people to hopefully jump on board - literally take a board position in order to make this program really find its roots and begin to grow.

I decided that before doing any work for the program I need to have at least four other individuals commited to becoming board members and hold one board meeting before moving forward.

I have been wondering how I might be able to cross market the program while soliciting people for the board positions I need to fill. This will come I realize and my patience is once again being tested. I can't imagine between these outlets of social marketing I am not able to find at least four individuals who are passionate about our children's public school educational experience and embracing this learning environment to be a green one.

So I put it out there again to all who may be reading, following and just generally interested. Do have a three hours a month to commit to a board meeting? A network of donors who would be willing to donate funds to not only classrooms embracing or trying to embrace a green learning environment? A few extra dollars yourself to donate to the offsetting of overhead costs every year to get us started? I would love to hear from you. Contact me at info@sponsorateacher.org and let me know.

Thanks for reading! Until next time ... embrace your inner wisdom.

PS ... by the time I am now about to hit 'publish post' my two dogs have kissed my son enough to wake him up. Oh well ... at least I got my blogging done today.
