Why not start a week off with a podcast edition of Charlottesville Community Engagement? There are likely many answers why not with a primary one being that it is atypical for such a program to be sent out through this feed on a Monday morning. Perhaps a better question is why produce audio versions of this newsletter at all? The answer to that is simply just to take a listen and hear for yourself.

Shout-out to Patreon-fueled shout-outs!
Since the beginning of this newsletter, several organizations and one business have been supporters of Town Crier Productions with a $25 monthly contribution funded through Patreon or some other financial method! That system is slowly giving away to something different but I thought I would take this special Monday morning slot to thank the following for still sticking to it:
If you have a moment, take a look at any of the ones that sound interesting to you. Learn something new!
A new system of shout-outs will come into place in 2026 and if you’re interested in sponsorship opportunities, please drop me a line. I’m a one-person information outlet and for that number to go up, I have to continue to grow revenue.
