Welcome to the Monday newsletter. I hope you had a good weekend. Mine was good with a couple of Timberwolves games, a club meeting, watching my mom perform in a senior story reading and getting ready for an upcoming trip I'll tell you more about later.

If you missed Friday's newsletter you can still see it HERE, although some of the fun things to do and deals are already over.

We've got a lot of spring prep going on over here. I've already mentioned about working on the City Wide Garage Sales list, but now we're also trying to quickly get the Easter Egg Hunts list updated. If your church or organization is planning a hunt, just send us the details and we'll get it included.

I'll chat with you again for the Wednesday newsletter. In the meantime you can stay up-to-date on our Facebook Page and on the website. Thanks for reading. I appreciate it.
