For what seems like the hundredth time, Facebook is again changing its algorithm for showing posts in our Newsfeeds. This time, it’s given direct instructions on what kinds of posts will be shown, and what kind will be…well…completely nixed. 

While we know social media is just a supplement to other marketing, we also know it’s a powerful one that helps you connect with your customers on a more personal level, that’s why we’re passing along this article from Jay Baer, the author of best seller Youtility on how to make the most of your social media pages with thoughtful, helpful and non-promotional content. 

P.S. This works in your advertisements as well. Everybody loves good content. 🙂 

Enjoy…

TOAST REPEAL DAY AT THE MOB MUSEUM ON FRIDAY, DECEMBER 5

Dec 5, 2014   //   by Meghan Pescio   //   Community News  //  No Comments

Repeal Day

WHAT:

It’s no secret: Oscar B. Goodman is a man who likes his gin. That why, for the third year in a row, The Mob Museum has invited him to lead the public in a toast to celebrate the anniversary of Repeal Day.

The toast will officially kick off the Museum’s third-annual Repeal Day Party, which will include performances by cabaret dancers and a Jazz swing band, signature menu by Relish, casino table games, a Roaring 20s costume contest and second-annual Boss of the Bars Contest, in which downtown bars will concoct Prohibition-era-inspired cocktails in hopes of winning the coveted Repeal Day Cup.

Attendees at the Repeal Day Party will be among the first to see three new exhibit items:

The Nucky Thompson “Death Suit”: Steve Buscemi, who played bootlegging gangster Enoch “Nucky” Thompson in HBO’s Boardwalk Empire, wore this three-piece suit in the series finale, in which his character was killed on the Atlantic City boardwalk. The suit features a bullet hole where the character was shot.

Nucky Johnson Culinary Trophy: Enoch “Nucky” Johnson, Atlantic City organized crime boss during the Prohibition era, sponsored this silver cup, which was awarded to Omer Bondoux in a culinary contest in 1925. Bondoux was the chef at the Breakers Hotel in Atlantic City. The Nucky Thompson character in Boardwalk Empire was inspired by the real-life Nucky Johnson.

Paulie Walnuts Track Suit: Tony Sirico, who played Paulie “Walnuts” Gualtieri in HBO’s The Sopranos, wore the track suit during the opening scene of Season 6, Episode 4. Paulie is shown walking out of a SCUBA shop toward his car. In this episode, he learns his Aunt Dottie, a nun, is actually his mother.

WHY:

On Dec. 5, 1933, Prohibition was lifted and Americans could once again legally drink. Resulting from a major reform movement in the United States, on Jan. 16, 1920, the 18th amendment was added to the constitution prohibiting the “manufacture, sale or transportation of intoxicating liquors…within the United States.” Although alcohol consumption declined as a result, crime dramatically rose and the Great Depression hit. In December of 1933, the 21st amendment was drafted allowing states to create their own laws for alcohol and with that, the bars were open!

WHEN:

Friday, Dec. 5

7 p.m.: Cabaret performance on front steps of the Museum
7:10 p.m.: Executive Director Jonathan Ullman welcomes guests
7:15 p.m.: Oscar Goodman leads public toast commemorating the anniversary of Repeal Day
