[ACML] Facebook & Events

[Nicholas Qualls]

MTAC and GMX use both Facebook Pages and Events, as well as Twitter. I'll
admit, I occasionally forget about the actual Event as most of our updates
go straight to the Page. It's a bit redundant on Facebook, as everyone in
the Event already Likes our Page, but it's always good to cover your bases.
