Sorry about the size of the newsletter….
Actually I am NOT sorry about the size of the newsletter because my main goal is to give you the best source of upcoming events so that you can plan for them.
Here is the issue. Gmail users (and maybe some others) will NOT see the entire newsletter because they cut it off if it is too large in size.
And some you may not even know you aren’t seeing everything.
I went through this morning and I deleted Saturday and Sunday’s Events and Live Music to reduce the size.
But I just couldn’t stand not letting you know what is coming up this weekend.
If you don’t see my smiling face at the bottom of the email you know you are missing some of the email.
So just click the read online button or link to see everything.
If you click the “view entire message” in Google it is a horrible viewing experience. Go Figure.
But maybe the best option is to follow the instructions and install our phone app. Viewing the newsletter in the app is really a good way to view the newsletter.
So unless you tell me otherwise I am just going to keep packing as much information in our newsletter as I can within reason.
You can just comment or reply to this email to let me know your thoughts.
Note: If you see the “View Entire Message” link at the end of your newsletter… if you click the Read Online link at the top of the email it will be a better viewing experience. Or even better install our free phone app
