⚓️ this week on LBI: 6/20/24

Mornin’!

Last week, this newsletter hit a new milestone of 7,000 subscribers! We never thought this would become as popular as it has when we published the first issue last fall. Thank you to everyone who has shared us with friends or family.

For those of you who don’t know, we’re a local family that operates this newsletter and social media pages in our spare time. Any operating costs for the software we use, website hosting, etc. is supported by our readers and local business sponsors (so another BIG thank you).

And for those of you who’ve been enjoying this newsletter and asked how you can contribute, here are a few ways to support us:

1. You can buy us a coffee.

2. If you own a local business and are looking for a unique way to get in front of an engaged audience, consider running an ad in this newsletter.

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