#MDLove

Have you seen the buzz on #MDLove?  It is a virtual scrapbook depicting the ways that our citizens love our state.   Please take advantage of this website by posting an image representative of your program on your official accounts with the hashtag #MDLove.  The information will be displayed at love.maryland.gov – a website created and coded by students in the STEM program at the digital Harbor Foundation. In the early summer of 2013, an artist from the Baltimore Love Project will interpret the online submissions and create an in-person mural in Baltimore City.  Please encourage your followers to post using this hashtag as well.
