Edition 1: The 'Low Down ✨ [First post from January 2023]
Happenings over the next month or so
Hello there!
Welcome to the first installment of my monthly NYC events newsletter – which will soon have a catchy name and probably a nicer, more digestible format.
Why am I starting this newsletter?
To connect people and foster new friendships
So we can take advantage of what this city has to offer - it's easy to fall into our routines and lose sight of that beauty
Ya girl has got some time on her hands (in case you missed it, I am #OpenToWork)
Here are my asks of you:
Let me know if you'd like to stay on this list. I'll keep you on for the next edition too, and if I don't hear back after that one, I'll assume I should remove you (and also that you don’t like me and/or like having fun!)
Reply if you’d like to join any of the below events (if it's "Date TBD" then I'll coordinate a time in the next few weeks)
Forward this email to friends who may be interested
Let me know if you have feedback
Here we go...
