CITY LAUNCHES E-NEWSLETTER

Sarasota, FL: The City of Sarasota launched an electronic newsletter today providing citizens with another avenue to be informed about events and issues at City Hall. “More and more residents are getting their information on-line. And, City E-News is a response to that,” said Public Information Officer Jan Thornburg. “City E-News is packed with news articles and informative tidbits. It’s colorful, full of photographs and interactive. Almost every article provides a link for the reader to seek more information,” said Thornburg.

The inaugural edition of City E-News features a welcome message from Mayor Lou Ann Palmer, an article about the construction at the Saprito Fishing Pier, an update on the new Sarasota police headquarters, and information about the upcoming MLK Week celebrations throughout Sarasota. “Reading City E-News is a great way to learn about what’s going on at City Hall. For example, did you know the Neighborhood Partnership Office is currently accepting applications from residents and business owners to participate in the City’s next Citizens’ Academy? Or that the City has a website dedicated to informing citizens about downtown street closures? That’s the kind of useful and interesting information you’ll find in City E-News,” said Thornburg.

City E-News can be found on the City of Sarasota webpagewww.sarasotagov.com. Readers also have the option to subscribe and have it delivered directly to their inbox.
