April Meetup

Well, after about a year and a half of pretty much not doing anything, I figured we’d get the gang back together and get this party started again.

RefreshBCS Social & SEO Speaker, Donna Gierman

Topic: The Importance Of Perfect SEO Copy
When: Tuesday, April 26, 2011
Time: 7:00pm – 8:30pm
Where: Good Time Charley’s
201 S. Main Street
Where Papa Perez used to be

Donna Gierman’s Bio: Donna has had a varied career, in fields ranging from law to marketing to copywriting to fine art. Art is always a focus, but these days she’s a full-time copywriter/ghostwriter/blogger and editor, creating unique content, giving SEO guidance, SEM direction, and constantly honing ideas on time and resource management.

Adding to the Family

We’ve partnered up with the WordPressBCS group that just started here to help grow the community. There will probably be a good amount of overlap with the two groups so we figured it’d make sense to help push and pull together.
