HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

🎂 It’s our birthday! 🎂

This week marks one full year of The Norfolk Insider.

What began as a simple idea — to help people feel more connected to Norfolk County and to make sure no one misses the good things happening here — has grown into something we’re incredibly proud of. Over the past year, together we’ve shared local stories, highlighted businesses, celebrated community wins, promoted events, welcomed over 11,000 subscribers, and sent over 330,000 emails. It’s been a ride.

Whether you’ve been here from the beginning or joined along the way, thank you for reading, sharing, replying, and helping this become something meaningful. We’re glad you’re here — and excited for what year two brings. 🎉🥂

-Brad, Ariana, Tamiah

PS. In order to keep this thing rolling, we need your support. Please read the next section, and consider giving a helping hand.

SUPPORT

Love The Norfolk Insider? 📬 We love making it! But here’s the reality: independent media has real costs—software, distribution, and a lot of elbow grease.

We’re keeping the newsletter free for everyone, but if you value what we do, you can now support us for $7/month. Your support covers the bills so we can keep focusing on the stories that matter to you. 🤝✨

Our new voluntary subscription will include some extra perks: early bird access to Insider events, exclusive ‘supporter meetups’, giveaways, and more.

Please help us keep the Insider going, and help bring Norfolk together.
