" Dear GEO colleagues,
The GEO Secretariat and the GEO-VI host government are pleased to invite you to join the new GEO Facebook Fan Page. This page has been created to help the GEO community stay connected with the upcoming GEO-VI Plenary and with other GEO activities.
This social media forum is a resource for staying current on up-to-the-minute information and images from the GEO-VI Plenary, including the Exhibition, workshops and Plenary sessions. After the Plenary it will continue to offer easy access to information about GEO through RSS feeds, discussion boards, photo albums and links to information from participating GEO members and organizations.
You can visit and contribute to the GEO Facebook Page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Group-on-Earth-Observations/166896229130.
We hope you find this site useful and engaging as you connect with other GEO colleagues and activities.
With best regards,
The GEO Secretariat
