❄️☀️☕️ Good Monday Morning, Coulee!

December 2, 2024

For the first time ever, it is my great pleasure to wish you a good morning. It’s a beautiful, snowy day outside, and we are very fortunate to call such a scenic region our home.

What is Good Morning, Coulee? It’s a daily newsletter with curated offers, jobs, events, activities, and, of course, killer deals from local businesses. My hope is that you find it engaging, useful, and informative.

Now, let’s get down to it.

That, my friends, is what we call a win-win. 🤝
