Cause we like to be our quirky selves at NolaVie (created on Canva)
– Are we still publishing articles, essays, photos and videos celebrating only-in-NOLA moments? You know it.
– Are we still partnering with Tulane to mentor students and connect them with more than 50 local non-profits? Yes, ma’am.
— Are we still posting all your faves on social media? Mais oui.
So what’s new?
This year our GiveNOLA Day dollars will go to another exciting new endeavor: a monthly newsletter devoted to all the things you love most about this city. From round-ups of quirky events and emerging eateries to short but erudite ponderings about the weirdness of living in NOLA, we will deliver entertaining content right to your in-boxes.
So please help us as we continue our mission to celebrate our city, and consider a gift for GiveNOLA Day.
Many thanks!
