Lee Linked is up and running!
Exciting news!
As you may know, Lee County has been working to develop a social media presence. I am happy to report that the initial sites have been developed and designed. The sites and access information are listed below. Currently five Lee County departments will post to the central Lee County social media sites. Those departments include: tax office, library, parks and recreation, health department and senior services. As this initiative proves successful, more county departments may begin posting to the new sites. The same information will be available on each site, but I recommend to at least "Like" us on Facebook. Facebook is our one-stop shop for not only news and information in word format, but relevant videos as well.
To receive automatic updates, please consider subscribing to or following us on one or more of these sites, and tell your friends and family to do the same. In the coming days, departments will begin posting important announcements and news through this media, but not too much to become overwhelming for our audience. Information is powerful and we want to pass along relevant news and information.
**Important Note** -- the current Lee County departmental pages on Facebook will be phased out, except for Emergency Services. Fans of Lee County tax office, Health Department and Senior Services on Facebook or Twitter, please transition to our new and improved Lee County Government page.

FACEBOOK - Click Here
Follow the above link and click the "Like" button at the top of the page. Doing so will allow news feeds from Lee County Government to post to your home page, just as your "friends" news and status updates do. For security, our page does not accept "friends". Rather, we allow people to "Like" our page. This provides a level of privacy for our fans meaning no one from our page can view your profile. See attached picture with red arrow.
Something unique to our Facebook page is a tab that incorporates our YouTube government channel into Facebook. Therefore, Facebook is a one-stop shop for news and videos under this setup.
We need to evaluate the effectiveness of this media so please provide us with constructive feedback. Looking forward to interacting with you through social media.
