POSTPONED to JUNE 6 (DUE TO POWER OUTAGE). A rainy day and blueberry pancakes seem like a good match to us. Please consider attending our Sign & Dine POSTPONED (power outage) to learn more about preservation in Effingham and how YOU can sign up to help.

What is a "SIGN & DINE" you ask?
1) Drop in at Effingham Preservation Society Saturday morning (6/6 = NEW DATE because of today's power outage);
2) Sign up to volunteer with one of the nonprofits in town that are stewards of an historic building; and,
3) Enjoy a pancake breakfast on us.
4) Meet new people and be part of keeping Effingham beautiful!
We hope you'll swing by.

THANK YOU for supporting our efforts at our Town's annual Memorial Day Weekend events. The beauty of Effingham didn't happen by accident; and it takes a community to preserve it. By showing up for our events, you’re helping save our unique historical resources. THANK YOU again.

With joyful Hall-Mark elves,
And an antique fire truck,
Rooty-toot-toots,
And a cloverleaf for luck,
Santa Claus is coming to town!

Happy Holidays Effingham.
