Hey there,
It's 2012, and the world hasn't ended yet. Needless to say, it's certainly going to be an interesting time. I feel compelled to share with you, something I've shared on my FB timeline, so apologies if you've already seen this. If not, it's Google's Zeitgeist video of 2011, and it was certainly a reminder of just how much happened last year.
Here's what's going on this month:
*Remembering Peter Fox
*Nancy Hanks Lecture
*DC PALs Social Profiles
*Present Happenings
*Ephemeral Happenings
*Future Happenings

*Remembering Peter Fox
Yesterday, I woke up to news about the passing of Peter Fox, a member of this group…I'll just share what I posted yesterday.
"Remembering Peter Fox and reflecting on what might've been lost in body, but not in spirit. His love, inspiration, and music will continue to change the world as he lives on in the hearts of everyone he's touched. I'm blessed and thankful for being a part of the GMCW family and getting to know such a truly beautiful person/artist."
Here's a clip of him participating in Signature Theatre's Signature Idol in 2010:

"Acclaimed actor and arts advocate Alec Baldwin will deliver the 25th Annual Nancy Hanks Lecture on Arts and Public Policy. Receive two free tickets to the lecture with your Arts Advocacy Day registration or reserve your tickets online today."

So a website is part of the long-term strategy for DC PAL, but in the meantime, I want to offer another benefit to provide a database of sorts for anyone who wants to share. What I need, if you're interested, is your name as you would like it (since it will generate your address as well), the code for any social media badges and profiles you would like, and what labels you would like for your page. Go to the link below to see an example, and message me if you have any questions as well as any suggestions or thoughts. Hopefully this will be yet another anchor for your social media presence online, as well as a resource for people to find each other.
