I'm Going To Twestival on March 25th, Are You?

The third Twestival will take place on Thursday, March 25th in cities around the world.  The event was the brainchild of Amanda Rose, who launched the first Twestival in February 2009 that raised money to support Charity:Water.  Thursday's event will support Concern (on Twitter), an organization that seeks to provide education aid to some of the world’s most poorest communities.  My colleague, Geoff Livingston, has a great post about Twestival over at his blog.

You can go to the site and find an event in your community or city.  I'm planning on going to the Palo Alto Twestival - will I see you there?

And, speaking of charity:water, Monday was World Water Day, but that doesn't mean you can't talk about the issue year round.   Randi Zuckerberg suggests these Facebook Fan Pages, Geoff Livingston offers this post on the issue of clean water, and Case Foundation blog points a great way to give water this week:

Become a fan of ITT Watermark on Facebook. For the next week, with every new fan they get, ITT Corporation will donate $1 to Mercy Corps and Water For People-two great non-profits that work to provide safe water solutions to people around the world.

You are so lucky. I wish I was going, but I will be in the air.

Beth - Have a great time. I wish I could join you but I am in Cleveland today and sadly no Twestival is being organized here this year. I did just become a fan of ITT Watermark though. Thanks for the reminder about Twestival and the great links.

Thank you to all of you who supported ITT’s World Water Day campaign! Together, we recruited 4,486 fans to ITT Watermark’s Facebook page and raised $4,486.

While the fundraising campaign has concluded, the fan page remains energetic and serves as an online community for people who want to secure sustainable water solutions for everyone, everywhere.
