WHAT’S UP IN WAKE FOREST
Town’s digital newsletter keeps you informed
T
The November/December 2021 edition of Our Town will mark the end of a 12-year run for the official Town newsletter. In an effort to cut printing and postage costs, we will no longer produce or publish Our Town in any format. Instead, we invite residents to continue staying informed about the Town of Wake Forest by signing up for our various digital publications. If you’re a regular reader of Our Town, please consider our digital publication What’s Up in Wake Forest. Everything that appears in Our Town—every other month—is provided in What’s Up in Wake Forest—every week. In other words,
by receiving What’s Up in Wake Forest each week, you’ll receive all the information (and more) you would have received in Our Town—only days and weeks earlier. To sign up for What’s Up in Wake Forest—and other digital publications—visit wakeforestnc. gov/enotifier and select What’s Up in Wake Forest from the list of options. Also, be sure to follow the Town of Wake Forest on Nextdoor, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram— and download the Town app. wakeforestnc.gov, search “enotifier” Communications & Public Affairs Director Bill Crabtree, bcrabtree@wakeforestnc. gov
