Good Morning Raleigh!
If you’ve been around downtown lately, you may have seen some of our flyers and stickers popping up as we try to continue growing without relying fully on paid advertising.
So today, I have a simple ask to help us with that community goal.
If you enjoy this newsletter and want to see it continue to thrive, share this email with a friend (or 3). Growth is the #1 thing that keeps this entire project going, so please consider sharing if you find value in this free resource each week.

Ask The Inbox + Calendar + Dinner
I’ve dropped a new link where you can ask stuff, share your thoughts, or correct me on any typos or mistakes — Ask the inbox here.
If you missed it last week, we now have a calendar you can sync to on your phone with — find that here.
Update for Dinner Club: we have to reschedule the June date as our host venue has fallen through. I will send an email to all attendees this week with the new date and a refund option if the new date does not work.
Stickers, Stamps, & Slowing Down
I started the Monthly Stamp Club because I wanted to make something physical, that was slowed down, and (honestly) a little funky.
Each month, subscribers get an illustrated vintage stamp of a North Carolina symbol mailed to their door via USPS. After you complete the full set of 12, your subscription ends automatically.
May's edition was meant to close already, but I'm extending the deadline to the 29th before we start shipping the June design.
