"We've seen evidence of the power of using social events to affect positive results here on Long Island, most recently with our Social Media Camp that provided free training for many of Long Island's small business owners. On October 23, we're going to have a lot of fun hanging out with friends and at the same time, help feed our neighbors. Last year the “LITweetup Helps” events raised 150 pounds of food, this year we hope to triple that," said Jeff Namnum.
