And Don’t Forget About Our FREE E-mail Newsletters!

• You might not be on Facebook every time we make a post; however, another service you can sign up for – for FREE – is our E-mail Newsletter Service.
• We try our best not to fill up your inbox.  Typically, we will send our “routine” E-mail Newsletters once or twice a month, on average.  These “routine” E-mail Newsletters will feature a number of recent articles, notices and updates, as well as additional features such as “How Do I Get Rid of It” reminders and a calendar of upcoming events or important dates.
• The only instances when we send out more E-mail Newsletters are in urgent cases when we feel it is in the public’s best interest to receive a separate newsletter on a single, important topic – examples include a Missing Person/Child, an urgent Water issue, a Severe Storm/Snow Plowing Update or in an Emergency Event.
• Please know that we are always sensitive to the fact that you likely receive many e-mails, so we strive to balance that with our ongoing efforts for transparency and keeping our community informed about important information.  Plus, you can unsubscribe from receiving our E-mail Newsletters at any time.
