Weekly Newsletter: Christmas Time in Burleson

Spartans earn first win, Lady Spartans continue strong start, Burleson opts out of lawsuit settlements, Christmas events in Burleson and more

Hello, readers,

This will be the last time I publish the weekly newsletter on Friday. I’m going to be publishing the weekly newsletter every Monday at 7:30 a.m. beginning December 4. That said, Monday’s may be a bit repetitive of this one because there’s not a lot of time difference for updates.

In this week’s newsletter, you’ll find The Burleson Buzz’s first official sponsored article on Tech Simple TX, a neighborhood tech-support business and one of this publication’s biggest supporters, along with the latest on Burleson basketball, including a recap of the Spartans’ first win of the season, an update on the Burleson City Council’s decision to opt Burleson out of lawsuit settlements and a look at Christmas-themed events happening in Burleson over the weekend.

I went on Mr. Allard’s Neighborhood Thursday to talk about The Burleson Buzz. It was a good time. I’m grateful for the opportunity to discuss publishing Burleson news with someone who does the same in a different format.

Onto the news!
