Back in January, 40 Minnesota bloggers gathered to meet, connect, talk, and then volunteer at Feed My Starving Children.
I went without knowing a soul there. And came out with what felt like a whole new community, new ideas, new friends and new connections.
People enjoyed it so much, we decided we'd try to arrange a group to do similar social/charitable activities a few times a year.
As those of you who have been reading my blog know, I have been one of the blogging correspondents for the Child Hunger Ends Here campaign with ConAgra Foods. (By the way, there is a great online celebrity auction to support the cause here.)
So I offered to organize (note I didn't say host, you all get to pay for yourselves) the second Minnesota Bloggers Get Together.
Here's the scoop:

During this event, I will be collecting monetary and food shelf donations, so please consider bringing a contribution.
Monetary donations will benefit Feeding America.
Food donations will be given to Second Harvest Heartland.
All are welcome, regardless of whether a contribution is made.
No formal agenda, just a chance to meet and hang out.
All attendees will be entered to win a Child Hunger Ends Here prize pack.
If you'd like to join us, simply RSVP by commenting here. Please include:

I look forward to seeing many of you there in a few weeks! Feel free to spread the word.
