Recently, I was invited to speak to a community group of “Seniors” 50+ (not for profit), who were really interested in learning all about Local Guides. This event really turned out to be one of the most rewarding things that I have ever done. This lovely group of mature citizens were really excited about the concept of giving back to their community by fixing errors and sharing their experiences in Reviews on Google Maps. They already have a tight community, so I asked them to show their excitement about getting started in this video (attached). The feedback was so positive and with their networking, I have been asked to share with another group of Seniors in another suburb of Auckland. Watch out Auckland ‘Grey Power’ are joining Local Guides!
Thanks @Shirley I tried to set this event up as an official meet-up (so I could show them all how easy it is to join a meet-up and organise their own). Unfortunately it was disallowed. I think it was because they thought it was a paid event (which it wasn’t). Never mind I will try again next time.
Yes, the Snapchat specs are fun but I really don’t use them as much as I could. Now there is a challenge for me. I cant wait until I can load video into Maps from my iphone and snapchat specs. That will be really cool.
Hey @BlancheMc : Sorry to hear that the meet-up wasn’t approved. Sponsored events are actually now possible (ie. where the business provide small discounts or complimentary products). Check out the guidelines here in this post.
