Due to the fact that fiscal cliff negotiations may ruin many holiday plans this year for our friends on Capitol Hill, we felt it appropriate to celebrate this exciting time of the year with a holiday-inspired board game.
What better way to spend the holidays than with all your FamousDC friends?
Meet Clay Broga and Dan Hayes.
Clay and Dan are the creative minds behind the film Honor Flight – one of DC’s most talked about documentaries.
Honor Flight is a documentary about four World War II veterans and a Midwest community coming together to give them the trip of a lifetime. Volunteers race against the clock to fly thousands of WWII veterans to Washington, DC to see the memorial constructed for them in 2005, nearly 60 years after the War.
Tonight their film is premiering to a sold-out crowd at the U.S. Capitol. Tickets are still available for Friday’s viewing.
Freethink Media presents “Honor Flight” – a film about four living World War II veterans and a Midwest community coming together to give them the trip of a lifetime. Volunteers race against the clock to fly thousands of WWII veterans to Washington, DC to see the memorial constructed for them in 2005, nearly 60 years after the War.
Honor a veteran this week by sharing this video. Thank you.
Meet Katie Harbath. Meet Mindy Finn.
Katie is an Associate Manager at Facebook and Mindy works for Twitter.
Two of social media’s leading ladies, Harbath and Finn have been proven industry experts for years. They’re also a couple of the nicest people you’ll meet in DC.
Before their work at Facebook and Twitter, Katie and Mindy worked together at the RNC. Afterwards, they went their separate ways, each to head up digital operations for top presidential contenders. Katie worked for Mayor Rudy Giuliani while Mindy headed to Team Romney. Years later, they’re still on different teams, but have enormous respect for each other.
With Facebook and Twitter at full-force this election cycle, we figured we’d reunite the two for a social media showdown.
