Hello, Chewies!
Labor Day has officially passed, which means it’s time to put away your white clothes (who makes these rules anyway?).
Anyways, we received the below email last week and thought it was so important that we should highlight it in the beginning of this issue:
I just received the Chino Chew and I love it!! The Chew is so informative of happenings!
Thanks Novella! If you’d like your blurb highlighted in one of our issues and be locally famous, don’t be shy and drop us an email.
Also, keep in mind that if you get 3 of your friends to sign up, you get a FREE birthday shoutout🎂 to the entire Chino Valley. Well, not the entire valley, just the ones who are on the Chew with us. But you get the point. So forward your emails and let us know!
