Our membership base is unique and the time has come for Homenetmen to develop its own unique strategy with social networking. There are hundreds of Homenetmen groups on Facebook and thousands of links on YouTube. Some we can be proud of and some not.

There are great opportunities ahead of us with progressive ways for us to connect and tap into audiences locally and globally.
