We normally organize one day each month where we have everyone come together for a morning or afternoon to volunteer for a local charity... past highlights have included the San Francisco Food Bank, the St. Vincent de Paul Center, Discarded to Divine (a charity fashion show), and next up is the AIDS Walk come July 20. Social Media has allowed us to invite, manage, and inform our members (200+) about upcoming events and ways to make a difference in their community.
