TODAY: 3 Min. of Your Time Needed for Natl. Day of Civic Hacking Social Media Blitz

[Jenny Park]

Hi All,

Once again, we are doing a social media blitz today.  The hackathon is 2 weeks away, and we need help getting the word out about the National Day of Civic Hacking June 1-2.  

The NDoCH has a new blog post great for sharing why civic hacking is good for cities:

Feel free to retweet @openchattanooga or send out your own links (ideas below) to bring more attention to the hackathon.  

Remember, we need developers, designers, government employees, students, and everyday citizens interested in solving community issues.  So please TODAY take a couple minutes to post about NDoCH on your facebook, twitter, blog, etc., and even reach out to individuals you feel need to be part of the hack-a-thon.  The more of us posting, the greater our reach.  

Feel free to contact Tim or me if you have questions.  THANKS.
