🌟 Editor's Note
Good morning {{first_name}}
It’s Number 4! Thank you for making it this far!
The news in this edition centres around Cumberland City Council’s art programs and ongoing proposals to improve spaces in the area. If you live near or frequent these areas, it’s always a good idea to get involved.
I’ve squeezed a decent number of events into this edition as well. You’ll notice some repeats and some have not been repeated. If an event requires tickets or reservations I will omit them if they are booked out.
Please enjoy this morning’s newsletter 🙂
