A lot of stuff going on beind the scenes

Social ComicHey Guys & Gals,

I want to welcome all our new followers on twitter and those who are subscribed to our feeds, I am excited to have you guys as a part of One Day Without Shoes Rockville and please help us by getting the word out in your own status updates, tweets, and blogs. Thank you soooo much in advance. =]

I know it has been a little quite the last few days, but we have had a lot going on behind the scenes here at One Day Without Shoes Rockville and I want to push an update to everyone.
  • First off we have officially be added to the TOMS Shoes One Day Without Shoes event list located at http://media.tomsshoes.com/oneday under the Maryland subsection. Check it out and also let all of your friends know about the official One Day Without Shoes page so if they aren't going to be in the Rockville area they can find a One Day Without Shoes event in their local area.

  • Second, we have an event page up on Yahoo's service Upcoming at http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/2299250/. If you or your friends and family use Upcoming go ahead and add yourself and invite all your friends to come as well.

  • Third, We have had this link up on the Facebook event page for sometime but I didn't realize it wasn't here too. The proposed route from the Old Red Brick Courthouse to the middle of the Rockville Town Square can be viewed via Google Maps at: http://tinyurl.com/daywithoutshoes. It gives you a visual sense of the route we will be taking and a good idea of where you can park to minimize walking if you already know the Rockville area. If you are not familiar with the Rockville area keep and eye out in the next couple of days, I will be getting more information out soon about good transportation options (i.e.: car, taxi, bus, metro, train) and where to park if you are planning on driving.

Let Me Introduce Myself

Michael MoubarekHi all,
I find that it is nice to know a face behind an image or event, a bit of personal touch, something that is tangible, something that you have a direct connection with. TOMS is all about personal service so I want to take a moment and introduce myself. My name is Michael and I am a Campus Rep for TOMS Shoes at The Heights School located in Potomac, Maryland. I would love to hear from you all if you have any questions or comments concerning TOMS Shoes or the One Day Without Shoes event. Email me at onedaywithoutshoesmd@gmail.com or find me on Twitter @DayWithoutShoes.

Peace,
Mike

One Day Without Shoes - April 16thOn April 16th, TOMS Shoes is inspiring individuals across the world to leave their shoes at the door for ONE day, ONE hour, ONE minute in an effort to bring attention to the impact a simple pair of shoes can have on one’s life.

Walking is the primary mode of transportation in developing countries, and children often have to walk miles to get food, water or medical help. Without shoes, they are subject to cuts, infection and soil-transmitted diseases that can drastically affect their lives.

Join me, Michael Moubarek, a campus rep for TOMS Shoes and others from the Rockville area on April 16th at 11am for a one mile walk from the steps of the Old Red Brick Courthouse to the Rockville Town Square. Leave your shoes at home or on the steps of the Courthouse and walk with us.

The proposed route from the Old Red Brick Courthouse to the middle of the Rockville Town Square can be viewed via Google Maps at: http://tinyurl.com/daywithoutshoes
