Hey Neighbors,

I'm launching a new community building project this month. It's called #Hi5Fridays!

About:

Giving a Hi5 is a great way to acknowledge a neighbor, friend, or co-worker for a job well done or just being awesome.

Here is how it works:

1. Every Friday, give at least 5 people - neighbors, friends, people in line, co-workers or anyone - a Hi5.
2. Help spread the word by joining our fan page at https://www.facebook.com/Hi5Fridays and inviting your friend to join.
3. Referring to this hashtag #Hi5Fridays when on the "tweeter"

Project History:

• Friday, July 29 - Lauch - I launched Hi5Fridays at the GovLoop.com (where I work) Next Generation of Government Summit #NGGS11 in DC on July 29. 500+ people Hi5ed!

• Friday, Aug 5 - I got 3,500 plus to Hi5 at the Hatchshell during Free Friday Flicks!

Virtual Idea --> Use Google+ Hangouts

• You can do virtual Hi5's too - see what I did with my co-workers this morning on Google+ Hangout - PS add me your circle (or if you need an invite - email me) - joseph.porcelli@gmail.com. See the pics.

Step by step instructions on how to give a Hi5:

1. Raise your right hand
2. Say - It's Hi5Fridays, get job this week
3. Give a Hi5
4. Repeat at least four more time
