We’ve added two new sections to our morning email newsletter.
Starting today, you’ll notice the weather forecast at the top of the morning email. We make it easy to see what Mother Nature has in store for you for the next seven days. Our weather forecast is sponsored by OmniRide.
Also newly added to our email newsletter is an obituary section, which shows the most recent posts to Potomac Local’s obituary section. In our recent reader survey, as well as over the course of the past six years after the closure of the News & Messenger newspaper in Prince William County, obituaries are one of the most-requested sections of our local news website.
We automatically pull obituary listings from funeral home websites in the Greater Prince William County area, and in Stafford County and direct our readers to read those obituaries on their original websites. It’s a public service I’m happy to provide a no charge.
Don’t get our morning newsletter? Let’s change that.
The newsletter additions come after we incorporated “NEW” tags that appear next to our headlines, so you’ll always know what’s news today.
We’ve also dusted off our Potomac Local List newsletter that is sent periodically on Thursdays, where you’ll find fun events for your upcoming weekend.
And, we’re still sending our Sunday Profile email newsletter sponsored by The Fauquier Bank, where you can read the stories of the people who make our community a better place to live.
