Introducing Community Celebrations
A place where we can share about our own traditions and learn about each other
Hello, Burlington!
We don’t usually send a general newsletter on Saturdays, but I wanted to take a moment to introduce a new feature in the Buzz: Community Celebrations. This community-built feature will highlight the various celebrations, traditions, and holidays celebrated by our readers, all in a central location.
What are you celebrating? Email your stories to us for the opportunity to share your love for your family, religious, or cultural traditions with your neighbors. The aim of this feature is to build on the connection we’ve all experienced as we’ve grown the Buzz community over the last two years, and I hope we’ll hear from many of you!
For today, please enjoy reading our first two features.
