Your Newsletter is Going Biweekly!

Hey Santa Rosa,

We have a quick update to share: City Connections will now be published every other week instead of weekly.

Why the change? We want to make sure we’re focusing on the issues that matter most to you—and we also want to help keep your inbox from getting too full. By sharing updates every other week, we hope it’ll be easier to stay informed without feeling overwhelmed.

We’re also working to make each issue easier to read so everyone can understand City issues, even when they’re complicated. Whether you're catching up on city news or looking for helpful resources, we want City Connections to be something you value and appreciate.

Thanks for reading, and we’ll see you in the next issue!

Dive Into Fall & Winter with Recreation Scholarships

You can now apply for Recreation & Parks scholarships to help cover the cost of swim lessons and lifeguard training this fall and winter. These scholarships are made possible through the community-supported Recreation & Parks Scholarship Fund, which provides financial assistance to individuals and families living in Santa Rosa on low incomes. Scholarships are limited, so don’t miss this opportunity to build water safety skills and enjoy the benefits of swimming.
