We're having a great year so far folks. With the first Long Island Social Media Camp behind us and so many good friends new and old that are part of this community, @LovelyLu was kind enough to put together a date for a Nassau/Suffolk End of Summer LITweetup.
We will get together for fun conversation and good food and drinks on September 2nd at 7pm. Location is TBA, but as soon as we have it locked down, we'll update you here. So while the sun is setting on our summer, it's still the dawn of a great new day for our community. Looking forward to seeing you there!
UPDATE!

What an honor it was to have been involved with this great project. I am amazed by the wonderful generosity of Long Islanders when given the opportunity to help out their neighbors, and on behalf of the amazing LITweeup Helps crew, I thank you all.
Thank you to each person who took time to come to the events and donate their food and money to feed people who needed their help thru Island Harvest.
Those of you who are on twitter, we've featured you on a list and will be encouraging folks to #FollowFriday you :)
We've also created a list of the organizers for LITweetup including all the dedicated people who worked their behinds off to make this happen (Becky Kopprasch, Mitch Hagler, Jean Prytyskacz, Steve Haweeli and me) and the awesome folks who inspired and encouraged (Dani, Ed and Ray).
Special thanks to the good folks at Doherty Inc, owners of the Panera Bread locations and awesome partners in this event!
Please donate online using the ChipIn widget in the sidebar. I'll be mailing out Panera Bread coupons to anyone who donates and emails me at litweetup@namnum.biz until our supply runs out.

Ok Nassau County, great job! In the middle of a rainstorm and with only 2 weeks of promotion, we did a good job of feeding some of our neighbors. Here's the recap:
Please note on the monetary donations $25 was in a check written directly to Island Harvest, which I will mail out to them tomorrow and $17 was cash donations. I will be pocketing the cash and making the exact amount donation online using my personal debit card under the name Jeff Namnum (correction 11/15/09 - I had my wife make the donation to save some time; it's under the name Ruby Namnum).
Much thanks to the amazing folks at Panera RVC, especially the GM Richard Balsam who was kind enough to offer to hold our donations until Island Harvest comes to pick up their Thanksgiving donation.
Please remember there are 2 more events left, on Saturday in Hampton Bays and on Sunday in Happauge. If you can spare some time, stop by and drop off a donation. If you can't make either one, keep on eye on this space, we will announce a way to help Island Harvest online.
I am very proud to be a Long Islander tonite.

We've had lots of fun at past LITweetups, now it's time to find a way to have fun and help our fellow Long Islanders at the same time.
There will be a tinychat Saturday 10/17 at 9:30pm to make decisions on how we can best help the communty. Please stop in and add your brilliance and in the meantime, please take some time to support #beatcancer and NHLTweetup's cancer fighting efforts.
