Breakfast Launch August 31 2008

Breakfast featuring Jeff Pulver and key Social Media and Marketing Players from the non-profit world.

This event hopes to introduce non-profits to the world of social media and blogging, and the potential it holds for helping non-profits reach their goals at relatively low costs.

The goal of the session is twofold: 1) to encourage non-profits to consider adopting new media strategies to promote their organization, due to their relative low costs and high impact; 2) to strengthen the Jerusalem non-profit community.

Participants will enjoy a delicious breakfast, stimulating conversation and ideas, and various printed material and resources.
