POWER OF SOCIAL MEDIA; MCHENRY EVENTS; I LOVE MCHENRY; #MCHENRYMATTERS



SOCIAL MEDIA

Social media is a double-edged sword.   That being said at the City of McHenry we are trying to accentuate the positive but cannot do this without your assistance.  If you see something on social media which is negative, particularly if it is inaccurate-don’t add to it.  In fact, change the topic, alter the conversation, accentuate the positive.  Is there negative?  Of course?  Is everything perfect?  No.  However,  power is in numbers so the more people who counter the negative with something positive the better off everyone will be.   A couple of suggestions:  A Facebook Page called I Love McHenry was started as one way to promote  the positive.  Additionally, utilizing the hashtag #mchenrymatters is another way to promote the positive activities in our community.   Thank you for your assistance!



MCHENRY EVENTS

There are many exciting events this time of year and its often these events which bring a community closer together and I would really encourage you to participate in one or more of these if you have the opportunity.   Community events, holiday activities and helping others often brings a community closer together and following are a few suggestions:
