This graphic identifies the new Plainfield Facebook page. |
While thousands of Plainfielders are on Facebook, the leading social media website, and there are a number of pages devoted to specific topics (such as Plainfield's cable TV stations, see here) or community groups (such as Netherwood Neighbors, see here; and Plainfield's educational community, see here), there is no single Facebook page dedicated to offering all Plainfielders and Plainfield-oriented organizations a way to get the word out about events, news and concerns for the whole community.
Add to this that there are several email chains devoted to specific Plainfield concerns or neighborhoods (Hillside Area Neighborhood Watch, the newly begun Residents for a Better Plainfield project, and the PRAAR pet- and animal-rescue focused group) and there are plenty of folks with activities and concerns that are of interest to the larger community.
"We are excited to offer this opportunity for Plainfielders using Facebook to have a hub where all sorts of community-related information can be accessed from a single point," said Councilor Adrian Mapp, chairperson of the New Democrats for Plainfield political club.
New Democrats have made the page available as a community service, and I have added it to the CLIPS listings (at the top, above the blogs) -- see here.
Tomorrow, I will cover what those who are not currently Facebook members may do to take advantage of the new service.
