We’re Trying Something New
We asked, and you answered. Thank you all for taking last month's survey and giving us feedback on where we can adjust our newsletter. With that, we will be changing a few things to best serve what you want. This month we will be focusing on ongoing community and reuse practitioner happenings from us and around the North Bay. If you prefer written stories, we haven’t forgotten about you; some months will include a reuse story along with other important reuse tips and tricks! Let us know how we did by replying to this email, we’re always open to feedback!
