Facebook Fan Page Launched

The Orlando Russian Society launched a fan page on facebook, the popular social media website, on Tuesday September 30, 2009. The page will feature event photos, links to services and information about the society. The launch is part of the Society’s 5 year anniversary project, which included a Russian style picnic at Turkey Lake Park and a new podcast that allows ITunes and Zune subscribers to download a Russian word each day to improve their language skills.

“The 5 year mark is a significant milestone for the Russian community and we wanted to see a lot of activity to commemorate the achievement.” said Jef Gray, director of the Society.

Months leading up to the anniversary were also active with additional service launches including IPTV services for Russian TV channels and complete interpreter and translation services in Orlando. The Society has two twitter accounts, one for events and one for the Russian Word of the Day, plus a website to broadcast activities to it’s 200 family membership.

“It will be interesting to see what lies ahead in future years. We’re definitely growing and discovering more ways to build the Russian community in Orlando.” said Gray.
