GOOD MORNING, COULEE

Thanks for joining me this morning. In today’s newsletter…

🎶 I’m going to be better about sending out texts—so now is the time to sign up for our best events alerts »

🖼️ Some neighbors submitted art to our Art Wall. Check it out—and submit your own? »

🎭 Kiss Me Kate opens tonight at the Viterbo University Fine Arts Center. “Filled with wit, glamour, and unforgettable songs like ‘Too Darn Hot’ and ‘Brush Up Your Shakespeare,’ Kiss Me, Kate is a celebration of theatre itself.” »

🕰️ We’ll take a moment to look back and reflect—before we move ahead with the momentum that can only be created by 8,000+ neighbors working together. Our Moment In Time—coming up.

🛍️ Ladies & gentleman, fall vibes are here to stay. For like 3 weeks, anyways. If you’re looking to lean into that whole thing, the Fall Gift & Craft Show at the Omni Center might be the place to be this weekend »

Alright, fam. Let’s do this. 👇
