Social Media Floods Cache Valley

LOGAN, Utah—President Preston Parker and founder of Social Media Club of Cache Valley has gathered together with other simplistic individuals to create a place for people to get to know how to use social media resources appropriately such as Facebook, Twitter, and Blogger.

The club was founded in August of 2009 when a small group from Cache Valley was heading to Salt Lake city to attend a club meeting there, on the way it came into thought that instead of making a commute to Salt Lake once a month why don’t they start a club of their very own. The Cache Valley Social Media chapter is the second of 4 current chapters in the state of Utah with over 170 group members.

“The goal of the social media club is education”, states President Parker. “We want others to be informed about social media, not to fear it. We want people to understand its importance.” Parker also mentioned, “social media is all about communication and connectivity, it’s a way to promote a business, stay in touch with family, and play games over the internet. Our purpose is to ensure that social media can be used for productivity.”

The Social Media Club of Cache Valley is enthused to help promote the American Festival Chorus this year as one of their main clients. The Club hopes to take on additional clients throughout the year who would like to seek knowledge about how social media works. Parker mentions, “The worst thing you can do is be silent. Being silent sends the message you are hiding something, or you don’t want to be involved, everyone has something to say and everyone has something to improve.”

The slogan of the club is “Get it, share it.” “Come receive the information you need to productively use the media sources and then share it with those who have yet to experience its importance,” exclaims Parker.

These meetings take place on the second Tuesday of every month at different locations that can be found out via the Facebook group page. Parker assures that these meetings consists of very non-threatening, friendly, and outgoing group of individuals who all care about social media. There are also guest experts in social media and plenty of discussion on how social media is contributing to a new form of communication. Come join the fun if you would like to gain knowledge about social media.
