seal_stl_cityseal_stl_city1Mark your calendars!  One of this year's Cinco de Mayo celebrations in St. Louis will take place on Saturday, May 7 on Cherokee Street.  City Hall will be closed two Mondays this month:  Monday, May 9 in observance of Truman Day and Monday, May 30 in honor of Memorial Day.  The annual Annie Malone Parade is scheduled for Sunday, May 15 in Downtown St. Louis.  The Rib America Festival, St. Louis African Arts Festival and Memorial Day Ceremony will all take place during the Memorial Day weekend.

Look for Newsgram tweets about these and other events coming up in the days and weeks ahead.

 

The deadline for June Newsgram is Wednesday, May 18.  I encourage all City departments to continue to find news items to publish monthly in Newsgram.  Ideally, every department will designate one person to submit for publication staff news, photos, information on events and any information you would like to share with your fellow City employees.  Tell everyone what's going on!

Newsgram is created by City employees for City employees.  Send in your news.  The website team will be conducting training for new contributors, once per month.  Training sessions will be from 2 - 5 p.m. at the Carnahan Computer Lab, 1114 Market Street, Room 935.  Sessions are on a first-come, first-served basis.  Email Benjamin Durnell for a schedule of available dates.

Also, Newsgram is tweeting!  Let Newsgram know if you are tweeting.  Please feel free throughout the month to send in tweets of 140 characters or less for posting on the Newsgram Twitter account.  Email them to newsgram@stlouiscity.com.  Be sure to check out the new "Snippets" item which highlights select tweets from the month.
