I’m excited to invite you to use my website as a searchable resource, a database of helpful information that’s very easy to navigate! Looking to find out if your car got recalled, jenshenk.com. Want to pick blueberries, go to the beach, find a playground, take a cooking class, sign up for town alerts–again jenshenk.com. Why am I telling you this now? Because I’ve had several people tell me recently that when they need to know something local, they visit my website and use the search feature. I absolutely love that. So, if you have a question about something local just visit jenshenk.com, click the newsletter button and use the search feature. If I don’t have a resource story that you’d like to see, just reply to this email with your ideas.
The photo here is of my youngest daughter, now 22 – – at the same July 4th barbecue that we go to every year since she was born.
While I take a couple days off to eat too much and stain our decks (I don’t remember if I’ve actually mentioned to Jay that’s what I’d like to do this weekend), I ask that you share my newsletter by talking about it with your friends and family while you sit around and enjoy the beautiful weather this holiday weekend.
Just a few more subscribers and I’ll be at 3,000 readers, the vast majority of whom are very local.
In closing, I was just at the post office and learned that the price of a first class stamp is going up five cents on July 13, so if you’re a frequent stamp user like I am, stock up stat!
