Can social media change Altrusa? You bet. Social media thrives on friends passing messages on to friends, who in turn pass them to other friends, and so on. If an Altrusan sends out a message about Altrusa, and her friends pass the message on as well, before long we have a network of people who are being introduced to Altrusa (and whatever message was sent).
So, let’s try an experiment. Every Friday, check in with your Facebook account. Post something about Altrusa: why you love it, what it means to you, what your club’s recent service project was—whatever. We’ll even post reminders to you, sometimes with a topic to help inspire you to send a great message.
Keep in mind as you write your message that it’s meant to show off Altrusa to your friends. You want to pique their interest and get them thinking about how Altrusa could fit into their own lives. You might even close your message with an offer to “ask me about being an Altrusan.”
Send Governor Beth any successes you have from Facebook Fridays so we can brag on you and know that our experiment yielded results!
Please let your voice be heard. Write your ideas, and send them to Governor Beth for publishing on “Thoughts From the Mighty Ninth.”
