Our speaker today was our own Brad Huffman to share information on ClubRunner and Social Media 101.
Brad shared that ClubRunner is our way to stay connected. You can get email addresses, phone numbers, past issues of the eBulletin, fundraiser updates, and can easily send an email to another club member. There is an app now too that is fairly user friendly.
Brad then asked everyone to take out their phones and download the ClubRunner app from your app store.
