Kia ora, quick reminder before I get into this week’s newsletter that I AM THE RIVER subscription prices is going up next week, May 23. Current paid subscribers won’t be impacted as the new price will only apply to people who start a paid subscription after this date. This is also to allow time if you have been thinking about subscribing and supporting my work you can subscribe at the old rate of $7 a month or $77 annual before May 23. After this date subscription cost will be $8.50 a month or $95 annual - there is a slight discount for the annual subscription price. Free subscription option is always still available but this will only give you access to the occasional public post. Now to get into this week’s I AM THE RIVER community news bulletin - fire at the dump yesterday evening! Also check out our events calendar for what’s coming up in our town in the next couple of months.
