Colchester, CT Celebrates First Annual Nametag Day
What makes Colchester, CT so unique? On Monday, September 26th (yesterday) Colchester celebrated its first annual Nametag Day. According to the Nametag Day website, it was an effort to continue to find new and innovative ways to help people make connections and to welcome new people into the community. It was sponsored by Colchester Parks and Recreation, with the creative help of my friend Jay Cohen. And here's the cool part: at the bottom of their website, they have the following note..."What was your experience while wearing your nametag? Write up a brief summary and email it to parks&rec@colchesterct.org to be entered into a drawing for a complimentary 4 pack of movie passes to Gallery Cinemas. Please submit your entry before Monday, October 3rd. Have fun!"
Maybe I'll move from St. Louis to Colchester. It sounds like my kind of town.
LET ME ASK YA THIS...
If your town had a Nametag Day, would you participate?

Hee Hee, I think it will be a LONG time before the "town" of Los Angeles has a nametag day, but why not? I don't even know the names of most of the people in my apartment complex.... do you?
In my last apartment, the day I moved in, I went around to every unit in the building and introduced myself. Then I wrote a list of everyone's name, unit # and a description of their face and made a list and put it on my bulletin board as a reference.
It worked like a charm! It was like the episode of Seinfeld when Kramer put up pictures of residents on the board with names.
Good stuff.
Try that out.
Dear Scott, thanks for another super article, i just love this site, thanks for the hard work.
