GroundSwell

A dear+sweet High School friend "Facebooked" (i.e. friended) me recently, I noticed her "Event List" included a fun party at the "Cantina Marina" a D.C. waterfront establishment. This event was a fund raiser for "Hortons Kids" sponsored by District Charitable Trust, DCT. Now, my sweet friend works on Capital Hill as a lobbyist, the good kind I assure you. Capital Hill is not my social circle, nonetheless ... a friend's small act of "friending me" opened a whole new world for me.

This is a "GROUNDSWELL" affect, social networking media can enhance relationships and link you to social realms heretofore unknown to you. I was charmed at the DCT party to visit with Andy + Josh, gentlemen I know from "Frontline". I enjoyed an entertaining evening of social revere, became knowledgeable on "Hortons Kids" - a Reading Program for underprivileged children in Anocostia, and was encouraged by the spirit of volunteerism.
