With Great Stories Come Great Influence

Dearest Gentle Reader,

It is with the greatest pleasure that we extend to you an invitation to our next grand assembly—the Together SC Marketing Peer Network Storytelling Workshop.

This most splendid event will transpire on the 13th day of November from 10 in the morning until the hour of 3 in the afternoon, at the esteemed Girl Scouts Mountain to Midlands office.

As you well know, dear reader, our beloved nonprofit and philanthropic organizations possess tales worth telling—tales that enlighten, inspire, and stir the hearts of all who listen.

The art of storytelling is indeed a powerful tool, capable of drawing our communities closer, prompting action, garnering support, and inviting generosity.

At this workshop, we shall delve into the craft of weaving these narratives, ensuring we reach far and deep within our communities.

The Marketing Peer Network , a shining jewel launched this past January, is dedicated to illuminating the paths of communication and marketing.

We encourage you to join our Discussion Group , where the discourse has already begun. May your words find kindred spirits and your stories inspire the world.

With warmest regards and highest anticipation,

Brooke Robertson

Director of Strategic Communication  & Member Experience
