Good Morning,
Today is Tuesday, November 23, and here’s a look at what’s up out there.
⚓️ What’s Up Newp kicked off its Fall Supporter Drive yesterday. We’re looking to add 150 new supporters in 30 days. The additional support will help fund a new position we are filling on our crew, a Newport Correspondent (with the hope of adding these in each community). On the first day, we added 33 supporters! Thank you to all who support us!
If you appreciate what we do, please consider becoming a one-time, monthly, or annual What’s Up Newp supporter today. We’re looking to add 117 more.
