My First Social Media Club Meetup | Cleveland
As most of you know, I’ve been active on the social media front for a while now. I’ve been learning as I go and lots of people have been helping me along the way.
One thing that I recently did that I’m super pumped about is I joined Social Media Club Cleveland! I’ve been a member for a little over a month now, but just this past month was the first meeting I was able to attend. What makes it even better was that I went with Jason! It was almost like a twitter date or something LOL. (We’re such nerds…hehe! We were so excited to go together on a nerd-date)
The Cleveland Playhouse hosted this meet up, which was so cool, and it was BYOB! (beer, snacks and cupcakes = happiness) It was so great to be able to meet a lot of the people I interact with on an everyday basis online, but face to face. Plus there were new connections to be made! What a fantastic group of professional, fun-loving, intelligent and kind people!
I only got teased a few times for my massive amounts of retweeting, but most everyone was pleased with my intense love for the city of Cleveland. That was my proudest moment of the night.
Anyways, I CANNOT wait to attend more of these monthly events and to make connections with new people. Since this meeting was my first, I spent most of my time socializing and meeting people with Jason. I’m more of a social butterfly anyways. Next time I’ll try to sit down at the round table discussions and learn some cool stuff. (Awesome that they offer that, right?!)
We’re so lucky to have such great people, groups and networking opportunities in this great city! If you’re curious about joining Social Media Club, or any other clubs that have more to do with your industry, DO IT!
PS…an after hours game of corn hole broke out at Goldstein Caldwell and Jason and I won! WOOT! (Sorry @jborger and Tom Fox!)

Thanks for posting this, Cara, and also thanks for the shout-out. Great to have met the both of you guys on Tuesday. I’ve gotten a lot out of SMCCLE — good peeps!
Sad I couldn’t make it but it looks like it was a lot of fun! See you at the next one.
