Join Descendants of Mandi on Facebook
Descendants of Mandi now has a presence in the popular social networking site Facebook.
Facebook is a site that launched a couple of years ago as a place for high school and college aged people to join, link up and socialize. It became very popular among those who are 13 to 25 years old as it allowed people to stay in touch while they fanned out from high school to different parts of the country for college, and then moved again into their post-college lives. Earlier this year, Facebook was opened up to older people and it has become one of the fastest growing social networks on the web, reportedly growing at a rate of nearly 250,000 people a day.
I joined the network during the first week in October and immediately found several of our younger cousins already among its members. It did not take long for me to hatch the idea for a Descendants of Mandi group-- the idea being that as more and more famlily became Facebook users, they would have a "family place" among the clubs dedicated to fraternities, sororities, colleges and universities, etc. I was encourged by my wife, Kelly McCoy Williams, who had joined Facebook several weeks ago and had begun a group for her family, the Tyler Family Legacy Group. Within a few days, younger members of the Tyler Clan had begun linking to the group, and they intend to use it as a communication tool as their next reunion approaches.
I'd like to encourage the cyber saavy Descendants of Mandi to do the same thing. So, if you are already member of Facebook, check out the Descendants of Mandi Group and join--leave us a message on the group's discussion board. If you are not yet a member, then join Facebook and then the Descendants of Mandi Group. We hope this can be a way for younger family members to interact, get to know each other, and stay in touch all year long and between family reunions. Also, I'd like to thank cousins Intisar and Hanifah Abioto for accepting my nominations to the posts of membership co-chairs for the group.
Check us out at the Descendants of Mandi Facebook Group. All family members are encouraged to join.
PEACE!!!
