Just In Case You Missed This…
Hey Cary!
We’re planning future free, online workshops for the Cary community and we’d love your input.
We just launched a short Cary Spotlight Online Workshop Interest Survey to learn which topics you’d actually want to attend and what times work best for you. It takes about 1 minute to complete.
As a thank-you, for every subscriber who completes the survey, we’ll donate $1 (in kind) to Mama Edna's Thrift Shop by The Mama Edna Project — a local 501(c)(3) supporting food security and cancer-support programs right here in Cary.
⏰ Survey closes Wednesday at 9:00 PM
Your voice helps shape what we bring to Cary next, and helps a great local cause at the same time. Thank you for being part of the community.
