All The Feels Of Fall Are Here......

Stress Free Planning for Disney World Beginners
Good Morning, Neighbors! 👋
All good things must come to an end, they say. I’m heading back to the great northeast tomorrow after spending over two weeks back home in the midwest. That also means summer is just about over, and it’s back to school on Monday for me. Year 19 here I come!
I have a favor to ask:
Are you on Facebook? If so, it would mean the world to me if you would join the Facebook group I created. It allows me to chat with you, in addition to being able to chat to you. You can join by clicking HERE. The intention is for the group to be similar to the newsletter: keep you up to date with events, spotlight our local businesses and what they have going on, let you know about all the fundraisers happening, which support our students, local programs, etc. But, done on a daily basis.
One more note:
I’m starting to add more information into the newsletter. That means some of your email providers will “clip” the emails you receive from me. That’s just a fancy word for shorten. So, to read the FULL newsletter (which I really appreciate you doing), you can either click the button below this OR click the “read online” link in the top right of the email (see photo).
Ok, let’s get to this week’s newsletter. Feel free to respond to this email OR fill out our FORM if you’re interested in getting your info in a future publication.
Have a fantastic week!
