Decorate Your House and win $3000 donation to JC Library!
Happy Holidays!
I am reaching out as we are engaged in a little friendly rivalry for a $3,000 donation to the library system and to spread some holiday fun.
Mayor Jamel Holley of Roselle (Union County), Councilman Anibal Ramos of Newark (Essex County), and I want to see which city‚s residents can enter the most photographs of houses decorated for the holidays. The city with the greatest number of entries will get a $1000 donation from each of us to be awarded to the winning city‚s library system. In particular, I know that the Jersey City Library system can use the money, as every dollar counts, so why not have Mayor Holley of Roselle and Councilman Ramos of Newark make that donation?
Here's how the contest works:
1. Go onto our Facebook page "HOME Decoration Smackdown: Jersey City vs. Newark vs. Roselle"
https://www.facebook.com/pages/HOME-Decoration-Smackdown-Jersey-City-vs-Newark-vs-Roselle/322529117757653?ref=ts
2. Upload a photograph of a home in your neighborhood that is decorated and give the location of the house (Jersey City).
It is as easy as that!
If you just want to visit the site to see which houses have been submitted, the decorated house that gets the most Facebook "likes" will get a holiday GIFT BASKET from the three of us valued at $500. So please take a second over the next two weeks (deadline for submissions is December 23rd at midnight) and decorate your house or take a picture of one in your neighborhood.

Jersey City, Newark, and Roselle Compete in Facebook Holiday House Decoration Smack-Down
Jersey City Councilman, Newark Councilman, and Mayor Roselle Will Donate Funds to the Winning City's Local Library
December 12, 2011
Three young elected officials in three different counties have engaged their constituents in a holiday social media competition to help local struggling city libraries. Councilman Steven Fulop of Jersey City, Councilman Anibal Ramos of Newark, and Mayor Jamel Holley of Roselle, all long time friends, are using a dedicated Facebook page to collect pictures of homes in each city that have been decorated for the holidays. The city with the most uploaded pictures will receive $1,000 from each municipal leader, a total of $3,000, towards the library system. In addition, the individual picture with the most Facebook "likes" will receive a $500 holiday gift basket.
The Facebook page is called "HOME Decoration Smackdown: Jersey City vs. Newark vs. Roselle". Residents of each city can visit the site and upload pictures from Monday, December 12th thru Noon on December 23rd on the Facebook page.
"It is a great time for a positive and friendly competition that will engage these communities in the holiday spirit to help their libraries," said Councilman Fulop of Jersey City referencing the tough budget situation of each of the citys' library systems.
"The great thing about social media is that it is still evolving and we are learning different ways to use it and interact with residents. This type of competition is definitely a first," added Councilman Ramos of Newark.
While Roselle is smaller in size than Newark and Jersey City, Mayor Holley isn‚t deterred, "We may not be as big as Newark and Jersey City but we are the little engine that could and we fully intend on winning this," concluded Mayor Holley.
