Under Renovation: Raleigh - Mar. 5th

Good morning Raleigh! Hopefully in aid of some of the fires I talk about below, prepare for thunderstorms and high winds on Wednesday and keep up to date with alerts from providers, like Duke Energy here.

Otherwise, happy Wednesday. Let’s get started.

Last Thoughts

Over the course of March I want to feature more business and communities focused around, built by, or operated via the women in our Raleigh community. If you have something that you would like to see called out in the newsletter this month, let us know by simply replying to this email.

In the meantime, I will be doing some various updates on the branding and organization of the site this month. I appreciate the support so far and hope to continue growing this for many years to come.

Thanks and see you Friday!
