friends and family.<br />

Good to Know<br />

Asking a question on Facebook is beneficial because<br />

it creates posts in response. Here are some examples.<br />

“Who is excited <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> Bike-a-Thon this weekend<br />

“We are looking <strong>for</strong> new fundraising approaches.<br />

Any ideas”<br />

“Please tell your friends to like us!”<br />
