⚓️ this week in LBI: 3/14/24

Mornin’!

St. Patrick’s Day is this Sunday and there’s plenty going on all weekend (including the re-opening of a few favorite restaurants)! Keep reading below to find out more.

And we’re also asking for a quick favor. As we get closer to summer, this email will start growing longer to include all the events and happenings. If it becomes too long, it can actually start getting clipped by your email provider and you won’t be able to read the entire thing. We’ve had a few thoughts on how to combat this:

• Splitting the weekly email into two emails per week. One on Wednesday that would include events. Another email on Thursday that would include live music, happy hours, and miscellaneous.

• Revamping the website to be more user-friendly and sending out a shorter weekly email mentioning some of the “highlighted” events, with a link to the website to read the full newsletter in one spot.

Would you mind voting by picking one below and letting us know:

P.S. 🥳 Wishing a very Happy Birthday (on the 14th) to Eric C. and Arlene. And a very Happy Birthday (on the 16th) to Joy!

Now, here’s what’s happening this week…

— Jeff
