The January meeting of the Finger Lakes Chapter of the Academy of Wine Communications is set for Wednesday, January 27, 2010 at Ravines Wine Cellars on Keuka Lake in Hammondsport, NY. The monthly meeting agenda will be discussed from 10:00 AM-12:00 PM followed by a collaborative, interactive Twitter Basics Immersion from 12:00-2:30 PM. We will work through the fundamentals of Twitter for wineries including best practices for engaging in conversations, keeping up the momentum, explanation of symbols including hashtags, and how to use applications to manage conversations and engage more effectively. We’ll answer questions with a goal of helping members become more comfortable and confident on Twitter.

RSVP for the meeting and seminar is greatly appreciated by Monday, 1/25/10 to Melissa Dobson at (917) 816-5424 or melissa.dobson@avantguild.com.
