Hello fellow MJ fans,
I hope you are doing well and finding strength to get through this emotionally difficult week. Sending L.O.V.E. to you all!
I created a new page here on Facebook a few days ago. Something to try & help connect all of the amazing pages we already have for different regions. I'm calling it "MJ Connections (A Michael Jackson Fan Network)."
I was wondering if you could help spread the word about it by joining, inviting your friends and sending the link to the members of any MJ related groups you may be a part of (feel free to just copy & paste this message along with it if you do). So far I only have 19 people, and obviously for the idea to truly work I need to have a LOT more. Honestly, the only way it WILL work is if everyone gets involved.
I don't think there is another Facebook page like it (if there is, and you know of it, PLEASE let me know) ... but I'm hoping it will allow MJ fans to connect in more direct and personal ways.
What is the intention of this page, you ask? It's simple. I was trying to set up a Candlelight Vigil to gather with fellow MJ fans in my city on Friday, and in the process of doing so I realized that - unless you live in a major city like New York, London or LA - there doesn't seem to be an "easy" way to locate fellow MJ fans who live close by. So I set out to try and find a way to fix that.
I think we all want to find ways to get to know our fellow MJ fans, not just on the internet, but in real life as well. So that's the purpose of this page; to get groups of fans together to meet in person, not just online.
Now I know that many regions already have pages, and the point of "MJ Connections" is to BRING those pages TOGETHER in one place. If you check out the page, you'll see that I already have links to many of the active ones some of you all have created. It is not my intention to "step on the toes" of those pages. Rather, I'm actually trying to HONOR them by not only making them more accessible but by encouraging MORE pages and groups like them.
Bringing fans together to celebrate our love for Michael, to remember him, to pay tribute to his life and to carry on his message and his legacy ... what can possibly be better than that? I know there are millions of fans all across the world, and surely there are many who, like me, would love to connect somehow with people who share the same passion for our beloved King of Pop. The best friendships are often formed through passion, and who has more passion that Michael Jackson's fans?
Think about it! Being able to get together with a group of MJ fans in your hometown or neighborhood to celebrate Michael's birthday. Donating toys to your local children's hospital with MJ fans in your city. Taking a road-trip with MJ fans to see Captain Eo at Disneyland. Or just meeting up for a picnic in the park to talk about Michael and listen to his music all day long with people who LOVE it as much as you do! Sure, many people already have this ability ... but if you live in a smaller town or country you might not be so lucky. I'm hoping that "MJ Connections" can help change that for the rest of us!
If the page takes off I'm also looking for others to help me with administrative duties. It would be great to eventually have an administrator or two from every major country, at the very least. I'd love to, not only connect all of the regional MJ fan networks, but also help anyone who wants to create a network for their own area if there isn't already one active. Before we're done I'm hoping there will be an active group for every single city and country in the world, from Tokyo to Vancouver and everywhere in between!

If you have any suggestions or ideas, please let me know! In the meantime, again, anything you can do to help spread the word about this page would be much appreciated!
Thanks so much for everything, with peace and L.O.V.E.!
