Tweet-Up for coffee, tea, and dog biscuits!
EDIT: Several very generous people who cannot attend have inquired about donating. Please contact me if you would like to send a donation and I will supply my mailing address. Many thanks!
Have you ever been to a Tweet-Up? A gathering, big or small, of people who are part of the Twitter community? I haven’t. That’s why I decided to organize one!
When: Sunday, April 19th @ 3:00
Where: Spill The Beans
To Benefit: The Northwest Indiana Humane Society
Everyone is encouraged to bring supplies from the list below to assist the Humane Society in caring for the animals until they find forever homes. Several of the items are now available at Target in the Dollar Spot (dog toys, wash cloths, dish soap) and any Dollar Store should carry the household necessities. Monetary donations will also be accepted. Please make checks payable to the Northwest Indiana Humane Society.
The first 25 donations will receive a small gift bag in appreciation. If you can’t make it to the Tweet-Up but would like to be with us in spirit, leave a comment and I’ll pick two winners at random to receive a gift bag!

This Tweet-Up is inspired by The Responsibility Project, which all began with a television commercial from Liberty Mutual several years ago showing every day people doing simple, but wonderful and compassionate things. Things people don’t think twice about doing but can really make an impact on others. Things like getting together for our Tweet-Up to make friends and help our furry friends!
If you’re interested in attending the Tweet-Up, please leave a comment with your Twitter name so we can follow you and consider joining the Facebook group! We’d appreciate everyone getting the word out about the event, so please use #nwitweetup and #icause when Twittering! You don’t even have to be a Twitter fanatic to attend. Everyone is welcome! And we’ll make you into a Twitter fanatic while you’re there.

Corrin,
I think your event is spectacular. I love helping out the animals. Your event sounds great and I wish you great luck with it.
No stealing thunder at all.
I figure that since I’m not keeping a cent it is anyone’s ball game to win, I’m really looking forward to reading about everything that everyone has done.

Keep up the buzz. Eventually, other like minded professionals will join the groundswell about community stewardship and then we will be able to accomplish great things.
ConnieFoggles
I’m doing my part here by voting online for our local shelter to win a much needed makeover. Wish I could be there but passing the word on Twitter and my other blog too. Great cause!

I just wanted to say thank you for helping out our humane society. We try so hard to raise funds for our animals that are abused and given up for adoption. Every little bit helps us to help the animals. I really appreciate all you did for us today and so do the animals!!
Corrin
Mary Anne – You’re very welcome. I wish the turnout was better, but we did raise $99 (and counting) and collected LOTS of supplies.
