MEPSI announces new social media marketing plan.

Its that time of year when the Metro East Pride Organization begins to plan the festival for June, and this year includes the apparent migration from a fan page back to a page intended for individuals.  Nonetheless those who are interested in the festival are being asked to send a friend request to the new profile page.  Of course you can get information about the upcoming events, fundraising efforts and vendor information there.

Currently the MEPSI website is not working and there is no word on its relaunch as of yet.   Here is the statement made by the MEPSI fanpage today.


Hey everyone... We started a new friends page on Facebook. So send us a request or accept the one we send you. This page just is a little easier to use compared to the fan page. The friend page is under Metro East Pride. It has our logo as the picture!!
