Social Media and Social Money: Empowerment Workshop in San Francisco on May 18th, 2009

The full title of the upcoming Workshop sponsored by the Global Abundance Alliance is Social Media, Social Money:  Empowering People with Global Promises to Create Global Community.  Who do you know in the San Francisco area who might be interested in this workshop?  The workshop is being held on Monday, May 18th at the Terrace Cafe at Best Western El Rancho Inn located at 1100 El Camino Real, Millbrae, California from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM.  All I can share with you comes from the beautiful flyer: 

"Join us for a lively exploration of what it takes to truly be global with your Promise for the World.  Where are the frontiers we have to push through both personally and technologically?  Where are you not thinking globally?  Where are you thinking globally but not acting globally?  How do complementary currencies reframe the notion of money from barter/exchange to making a contribution to the world?How might using such currencies further your promise for the world?"

No, I don't get it, but I will be there on Monday, May 18th certain to expand my thinking and certain to learn new things.  The Global Abundance Alliance is a non-profit organization, which I belong to, dedicated to abundance for all people of the world.  You can visit them on the web at:

This wonderful organization offers outstanding Learning Leader calls every month or so.  O.K. I actually have not yet made it on one, however they look really excellent!  And they are open to anyone to listen and learn.  Here is the site for learning leader calls:

I'm learning about social networking and internet marketing.  I have no idea what a time bank is or alternative currency.  I have a commitment to serving the poor and those who need help.  I'll share with you what I learn when I get back.  Right now I have to finish up my poster for the Conference for Global Transformation, which starts this Friday also in San Francisco.  Have a Blessed Day.  And know that what you do makes a difference.
Love,
Lisa
