Power of Social Media for Fundraising?

Greetings all - I’ve really tried to harness the power of social media outlets to streamline communication with my Church, while at the same time broadening our exposure to the world-wide community. Now that we’ve established a nice community on FB, Twitter and (my personal favorite) Tumblr, I’d like to involve our new friends to join us as stewards!

We’re trying a new bi-annual, fundraiser - a “Virtual Coffee Hour.” The concept behind this is to combine the social aspect of coffee hour with our modern-love of fancy coffees so that we can generate funds for our parish.

If you feel so inclined, donate the equivalent of a fancy cup of coffee to our small, growing, Orthodox community in South Lorain, Ohio - small amounts in large numbers make a big difference!!!

During this fundraiser (throughout March) I’ll be posting a fact about coffee and an Orthodox Quote every day… so enjoy, comment, and donate.  :-)
