Vital Connections
We Need Your Help!
Signal Hill strives to deliver vital information and engage people through many different mediums. One medium that is at the forefront of our society is Facebook. Through Facebook, we can inform our followers about news, events and contests. We can also engage them in discussions or invite them to participate in polls that will help in our educational work.
But this vital information only reaches as far as the number of people that follow us. So if you want to help Signal Hill in making sure life affirming information reaches far and wide, we ask you to help broaden our scope of influence on Facebook. Our challenge to you is to suggest our page to at least 10 of your friends! (You'll have to "like" us first before you can suggest it to others!)
Visit this link to help spread the word!
(Hint: The "suggest to friends" link is on the lower left-hand column of our Facebook Page!)
