Day 2: Friends & Family

Day 2 of swCT2010 @ New Haven is all about Friends & Family. It being a Sunday and the finale of World Cup 2010, we're going to have fun with events that bring us together - for rest and recreation, hobbies & sports, health & wellness, things we do for ourselves and/or with those who are dear to us. Special emhasis on themes of health (of mind, body, spirit) and our sustainability (mother earth)!

Key Takeaway: How can we use the social web to have more fun, healthy and sustainable lives in CT?
