In 2010, we added social networking as a new way to communicate the mission of CROP - to feed the hungry. I was recently invited to attend a computer seminar in Chicago by Chad Schwarz , President of Integrated Med Reps, LLC. . Chad is also Director of Patient & Community Relations for Affiliated Foot and Ankle of Howell, NJ. Chad thought I would learn useful information on social networking to help us as we plan our 31st hunger walk. Dr. Hal Ornstein owner of Affiliated Foot and Ankle along with Janie Schildge our walk coordinator and Dr. Marie Varley our Church World Service NY/NJ Metro Regional Director all contributed to help with the expenses of the trip making it possible for me to attend. I am most grateful.
The seminar presenters from Officite, LLC. provided insight into the new changes with Google and outlined tips for search engine optimization and discussed social media as a useful marketing tool for small and medium sized businesses. It was easy to see its use in promoting our hunger walk. We learned more about the connections between websites, blogs, Face Book and Twitter. The links between everything is what makes it work. We connect to each other.

If 900 people got one more person to walk…you know. We grow! If your church, school or youth group has a website, blog or a Facebook Page let us know and we'll make you one of our "favorites".
Our motto has been We walk because they walk. Again, I thank Affiliated Foot and Ankle. They believe in keeping people walking. (PS my personal foot docs). Janis Iwanyk
