Former Council Weekly has new name and digital format
|

Today marks the official launch of the new and improved weekly email newsletter from the City of San Gabriel: City Beat. With the new publication, which replaces the Council Weekly, the city will use Constant Contact to bring city news directly to subscribers' inboxes with a clean, easy to read look that matches the newly redesigned website.
Each week, the newsletter will feature a summary of the week's news, which is posted regularly in the new website's "City News Center" at
www.sangabrielcity.com. The City Beat stories are designed to be concise, with the option to click the "read more" link at the bottom to find the full, in-depth story.
The city aims to continue to bring residents and business owners interesting stories from their thriving community, along with important updates and alerts about the latest events and other happenings, including emergencies, in San Gabriel. Submissions for feature stories and event notices are welcome, just email
[email protected].
With the new format, it's even easier to subscribe to the newsletter, and the city encourages everyone to sign up to ensure that they stay informed on their city.
