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.
