Good Morning Virginia Beach!

I’m writing this week’s newsletter from Austin, TX, where it’s 80 degrees and sunny. I’d much rather be outside soaking it in, but I’m here learning alongside some of the best in the industry at a newsletter conference, bringing back ideas to make our weekly chat even more valuable for you. Thank you for reading, supporting, and sharing VB Living each week. This community keeps growing because of you, and we’re grateful to be part of your routine.

Here’s what you’ll find inside today:

Scroll through, see what catches your eye, and share it with a friend!

Each month, we match locals for a casual dinner experience at a top local restaurant, making it simple (and fun) to meet new people.

It’s not networking, it’s not awkward. Just a great meal with new faces and great conversation.

Bach to Rock music camps give kids the chance to unleash their inner rock star — even if they’ve never played an instrument before! They offer spring, winter, and summer music camps for kids and teens, including week-long, partial-week, half-day, and day camps. Kids have a blast learning to play hit songs and performing with other campers!

VB Living is launching something special: An online Women-Owned Business Directory and a special magazine issue called “The Women's Collective: Women Entrepreneurs Fueling Virginia Beach's Growth.” This is designed to celebrate and elevate women entrepreneurs who own and operate established businesses in Virginia Beach and who actively invest in and support our local community. Submit your information to get listed for FREE in our directory, with options for even more visibility.

We are excited to lead a growing community of women-owned businesses and host our first celebration event at The Black Oak catered by East Beach Catering.

This is about elevating women in business, building meaningful connections, and putting local brands in front of the community in a powerful way.

The deadline is approaching and spots are limited.
