Welcome to Our Digest
Dear Caroline Better Together Supporters,
Thank you for your engagement with ongoing collective impact work in Caroline County! We appreciate your commitment and patience as we continue with our efforts to connect people to each other and to resources throughout the county.
An important part of what Caroline Better Together does is share information, for instance through the resource directory on CarolineBetterTogether.Org and our Facebook and Instagram pages. But we’ve heard that some weeks it feels like you are being bombarded by mass emails from us. We’d like to stop doing that, while still distributing valuable information shared by our members.
This email is the inaugural email in our new model of information sharing. From now on we will collect relevant announcements and items of interest over the course of a week and share it all in one weekly email digest sent on Fridays, rather than sending things out in multiple emails.
If you have events, resources, or opportunities that are appropriate to send through the Caroline Better Together email digest, please send them to admin@carolinebettertogether.org and we will include them in the weekly email.
Enough from us, below are a few items of potential interest.
