Thursday, 8/5/21

Top of the morning!

I need your help deciding something.  What's the best day for you to receive the iDriveSoCal newsletter?

Because Thursday mornings have been the standard for a long time now.  But it's been suggested that we switch to Wednesday mornings.

So, please let me know what would be best for you.  I'm even including Tuesday as an option.
