3. SUDBURY SOCIAL TWEETUP: Two residents of Sudbury, Bob Cargill and Phil Hollows, will be hosting their 21st Sudbury Social Tweetup today at Bistro 20 in Sudbury from 6:30-8:30 p.m.

The purpose of this networking event is to bring together business people, marketers and professionals who live or work in Sudbury and the surrounding communities who want to meet others from the area and learn more about social media such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, YouTube and blogs.

Bob and Phil host the Sudbury Social Tweetup on the last Thursday of each month. At each Tweetup, an informal discussion is held about different social media-related topics and issues.

For more information on the event, please contact either Bob Cargill at Cargill123@gmail.com or Phil Hollows at phil@feedblitz.com. To register to attend the event, go to http://sudburysocial.eventbrite.com/. If you decide to write about the event online, the hosts ask you to use the hashtag, #SudburySocial.

4. ODD HOLIDAYS HELD TODAY: Today is Water a Flower Day. Sure, we know that this day reads Water "a" Flower (singular) Day. It clearly indicates that a flower should be watered. But, in today's world of equal rights and non-discrimination regulations, how can you single out one particular flower to water? Even if you can decide upon a certain flower, wouldn't the rest of your flowers get upset and file a class action lawsuit?
