[CoLoCo] LoCo Team Promotion via Social Media

Thu Nov 8 16:42:41 UTC 2012

Super. Pass them along to me too!

On another note, I think each of us should create a "Colorado Loco
Leadership" group in our email contacts  so we can reduce the chatter our
members get in their inbox. It would suck to have a few members create an
email filter that keeps loco emails out of their inbox, and as a
consequence miss emails that are really intended for them, like an
invitation to an event. +1/-1?
