Seeking Social Wellness through Personal Growth
I first discovered Social Stewards in spring of 2016 on Meet-Up. It was promoting personal and social responsibility with an emphasis on environmental awareness and stewardship.
This message resonated with me, and I happily joined and began attending. I've been involved ever since.
At first run by Jeremy Jensen, and then Aaron Logan, we became friends and we are good friends today. Together we became the administrators of the Facebook page and Meet-Up groups. Later, we registered the domain name SocialStewards.org which has been used to support the various group meetings. We hope to complete a still-not-released app for coordinating these and other social events, using some of the technology developed for Air Trade and Organic Nearby.
