Happy Monday, friends!
This is the pilot of a Monday events newsletter from The Leaf! It’s two weeks worth of events starticng today. I hope it lets you put events on your calendar, or at least radar, with enough time to make plans.
I’m using a very similar listing style to what I did previously with Hey Boise, which I spent years helping tailor. I decided since that wasn’t broken, it was a good starting point. The plan is to grow this into a listing that lets you click events to add them to your calendar, but for now these will just live online — so bookmark this page! The upcoming weekend of events, pulled from this listing, will also show up in Friday’s Weekend Countdown.
But before we hop into the events, I’m launching a way for The Leaf’s readers to support this independent, grassroots newsletter. If you’re enjoying it so far, buy me a coffee! Go to “Products” (I’m trying to find a way to change that), and pick your monthly contribution or give a one-time “tip.” Thank you!
