Be Vigilant! (It's Monday) - Apr. 14th

Happy Monday Raleigh!

Unfortunately, we have to start today off with a warning about spam (I know, it’s no fun) but there is an email out there impersonating the our name and that’s a big bummer.

To be clear, you will only ever get official content from either one of these emails and if that ever changes, I will be the first to update you:

As far as our official socials go (yes, I know they need a fresh coat of paint, we’re working on it!), those are linked below.

• https://www.instagram.com/theraleighwoodinbox/

• https://www.facebook.com/theraleighwoodinbox

Scammers, spammers, and uh… people with bad manners are out there, so be mindful. With that out of the way, let’s hop into the day (with no more rhymes, promise).
