Hey Insiders,

It's been a year since the last Chapel Hill Insider hit your inbox. I won't bore you with all the reasons why I stepped away, but I will tell you why I'm back.

Over the past year, I kept thinking about this list of hundreds of local subscribers just sitting here while small businesses and nonprofits in our community could really use the visibility. That felt like a waste of something good.

So here's what's changing: Chapel Hill Insider is coming back with a focus on spotlighting the local businesses and nonprofits that make our community special. The people working hard to serve Chapel Hill deserve more than just word-of-mouth.

Starting weekly (because daily was... a lot), and kicking things off with a special relaunch edition tomorrow featuring a local health coach who's doing great work in our area.

If you're a local business or nonprofit that would like to be featured, just reply to this email.

Good to be back,

Elana Etten
