Dear SILC Students, Parents, Teachers and Volunteers:
[1] Facebook group "School of India for Languages and Culture (SILC)"
Happy to let you all know that we started the Facebook group today. The primary goals of this facebook group are:
* To facilitate communications (as everyone can easily post to Facebook, while only some can blog)
* To keep the extended SILC Community (our former students, parents, teachers, volunteers from earlier years) informed
* To share how SILC is doing/growing with friends of SILC and supporting businesses
* To establish our presence in the social media and use it to facilitate our operations
We are almost 100 members in that group now. Please note that if you know any former SILC member, please add them to this group. With over 30 years of history, we have many members in SILC Community spread across all over the world. Please take a moment to add someone you know.
Also, note that is is OPEN group for now. Any member of the group can post a message. We would like to keep it open for all SILC community members to participate. Please make sure that it is related to SILC and its charter.
