FUSION FIVE
SOCIAL MEDIA NETWORKING
August 28th
2PM - 4PM

The next FUSION FIVE event is all about SOCIAL MEDIA NETWORKING If you are a tweet master or a facebook beginner, this session will be for the novice and the net savvy. Join us at the Willis Noland Resource Center (120 West Pujo Street, Downtown Lake Charles) on August 28th from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. for this foray into online networking.

Social Networking is no longer a venue for looking up high school friends, it is a way to connect with customers and keep your contacts informed of your company's products and programs. So, technically, you should be able to get out of work for a few hours to find out more about this new trend in sales, customer service, and marketing.
