“This newsletter is great. I don't usually take the time to read the news, but this makes it quick and easy. Wonderful idea and wonderful execution. Because of this newsletter I bought 88 lbs of dog food and 30 lbs of cat food for the local animal shelter that otherwise I wouldn't have known they needed.”

“Good morning! I just wanted to share that I really enjoy this daily newsletter and here's why. 1. I like seeing the focus on just local news. Allows me to quickly know what's impacting my community. 2. This seems to cover a nice range of topics to expand my knowledge. 3. I enjoy the Events section, especially as a weekend is approaching so I can see if there are any activities to take my young family to. I usually have feedback for improvement but I really can't think of any! I so appreciate your team for putting this local news out!”

“I'm very pleased to report that the Community Prayer Breakfast is officially SOLD OUT! I appreciate you keeping it on your list of upcoming events in the community this month, but unfortunately we can't sell any more sponsorships or individual tickets. Thank you for your service ---I feel our paid advertising with you helped put us in the sold out status sooner than expected!”
Christy G.

“I'm actually really loving the newsletter. A lot of us in the community feel the traditional news providers have gotten pretty negatively biased, so it's truly refreshing to see news that's presented in bite-sized pieces but also isn't hinting one way or another. Very much appreciated in today's climate. Thank you for providing something new and refreshing for the city!”
