Good Turnout for City Hall Selfie Day

Turnout has been good for City Hall Selfie Day in Effingham.
City Administrator Jim Arndt said the first order of donuts supplied by Dunkin Donuts were gone in a hurry. The Culver’s frozen custard available through midday is also expected to go quickly.
People were showing up in a steady stream. For many, the chief goal was to get some “eclipse glasses” they can use to view the special event next Monday. The requirement, though, was to pose for a selfie that could be posted on Effingham’s behalf in the selfie competition among City Halls across the nation.
A safety mascot was there to pose with the kids, or those not so young. The fire department had engines on display this morning, and the police department has a display available through midday.

Beep… Beep…


#BachelorInParadise has been passed by #CityHallSelfie Day, and it’s not even City Hall Selfie Day for most of the world. Watch out #Confederate!

The Kids of ELGL

ELGL is a big tent organization. We are inclusive to all ages, races, and genders. We have a soft spot in our heart for the future, future ELGL leaders. Here’s how the youngsters are preparing for City Hall Selfie Day.

I’m Worried

American, I am worried. Australia and New Zealand are winning #CityHallSelfie Day. I should have known when they published, “5 Ways Engage 2 Act Members Can Join In With International #CityHallSelfie Day – Andrew Coulson.”
I knew we were in trouble when the City of Port Adelaide Enfield Library got into the act…

America, we cannot afford to lose another competition. Set your alarm clock for 12:01 a.m and start traveling to city halls within a 75 mile radius of your house. You’ll be able to hit at least eight to ten city halls before you have to go to work.

Stop the Presses….

We have a late entry for Best #CityHallSelfie Day promotion.

You won’t see these pictures anywhere else. Below are exclusive pictures of the #CityHallSelfie Day trophies courtesy of Bang the Table.

Land Down Under

Australia is not messing around. City Hall Selfies are raining down from all corners of the land down under. Let’s show respect for Australia by standing and signing a few bars of the Australian national anthem.
Australians all let us rejoice, 
For we are young and free; 
We’ve golden soil and wealth for toil, 
Our home is girt by sea; 
Our land abounds in nature’s gifts, 
Of beauty rich and rare; 
In history’s page let every stage, 
Advance Australia Fair! 
To show my appreciation, I want to formally forgive Australia for my anger that I had toward them for producing the wiggles.
