Net Tuesday Philly November Planning Meeting

This month, we're not having our regular Net Tuesday meeting. Instead, on Tuesday, November 11, we'll be having a Planning Meeting. (We'll resume our regular schedule of Net Tuesday programmed meetings on December 2).

We also want to announce another event of interest to Net Tuesday folks: the first gathering of Philadelphia "Changebloggers", people who use their blogs (or vlogs or podcasts ...) to promote social change. Similar gatherings have already occurred in New York and D.C. The Philly event will be held the evening of Saturday, November 22 from 5-7 PM (Place TBD). You can find more info, and RSVP, here (https://changemakerphilly-invitefriends.eventbrite.com/).

Note the different time and place for the November Net Tuesday Planning Meeting on November 11: 6:00 - 9:00 PM at MANNA (https://www.mannapa.org/index.asp) (12 South 23rd Street).

People are invited to bring their dinners, which we'll eat at MANNA when we get there. Meg Rider, our host from MANNA, has generously offered to provide some of MANNA's famous gourmet pies for dessert. Selling these pies is a major fundraiser for MANNA (https://www.mannapa.org/events/), and of course they'll be available to order for Thanksgiving.

The substance of the evening will be to talk about Net Tuesday (and Philly NetSquared) -- where we've been, and where we might go. This is an exciting time for combining the social web with social change (and will likely become even moreso as the most wired president in history takes office). There's been a tremendous interest in Net Tuesday (139 people signed up for the Meetup group alone).

What can we do to help us all share our diverse and dynamic ideas, skills and passions in order to realize our own visions to help repair the world?
What sorts of content, format or venue can make Net Tuesdays most effective for most people?
Taking the broader perspective of Philly NetSquared (https://phillynet2.wordpress.com/), what can we do besides monthly meetings to build connections and community?

Bring your energy and enthusiasm and help bring this group to the next level (whatever we decide "next level" means).

Hope to see you there.
