Every month I’m going to post the upcoming social media events in our area. I know we’re more than halfway through November… but the holiday season is a great time to start a tradition! So step away from the screen and come socialize with us at some of the following events.

Here are the remaining events (that we know of) for November. If we missed one, leave it in the comments!

11/19 – Hazel Hill Chocolates TweetUp (RSVP)
From the Facebook invite: Handmade chocolate truffles, home-style fudge, crispy-creamy caramel apples and more — Hazel Hill Chocolate fashions delightful treats for every palate. Stroll into our cozy shop, savor the intoxicating aroma of newborn sweets.

Time: 5:00 p.m. – 7:55 p.m.
Location: 724 S Kansas Ave (Topeka)

11/19 – FIFA World Cup Bid Blogger MeetUp (RSVP)
From the Facebook invite: Join us Thursday, November 19 at the Swope Park Soccer Complex for information about our bid to bring FIFA World Cup soccer matches to Kansas City. We are pushing to be one of 18 cities included in a USA bid to FIFA to bring the world’s biggest sporting event to our country in 2018 or 2022. We would like to share our bid strategy and update those in attendance on the status of our bid thus far.

Food and beverages will be provided. Prior knowledge of soccer is not a requirement, as this event would be a huge boon to our local economy and would truly be a cultural benefit to all in the Kansas City area. Come with questions. We will provide the answers. Feel free to invite other bloggers/media types who might be interested in attending.

Time: 6:30 p.m. – 8 p.m.
Location: Swope Park Soccer Complex (6310 Lewis Road, KCMO)
