Thursday, 8/12/21

Good Thursday morning,

I hope you've had a great week and are ready for a refreshing weekend.

Last week I asked for your help.  Because I needed to know what day of the week really works best for sending this newsletter.

Here's how the voting turned out:

• Tuesday 16.9%

• Wednesday 44.1%

• Thursday 39.0% 

The people have spoken and we have a new distribution day officially!  

We'll start sending the newsletter on Wednesdays as of August 25th.  So that means one more week of the newsletter being sent on a Thursday.

Thanks for your input!

Drive on,

Main Street Classic Car Show

Garden Grove - Friday from 4 PM to 8 PM.  A cool mix of vehicles.  And some great restaurants for dinner after.
