🌱 Read United + Community Health Advocate Online Training

Welcome back, Savannah! I'm here in your inbox today to get you caught up on everything you need to know about what's going on around town. Hope you all have a great day. Here goes...

First, today's weather:

Humid with plenty of sun. High: 89 Low: 72.

📢 I’m looking for business owners and marketers in Savannah who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Savannah Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that’s you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top three stories today in Savannah:

1. An overnight shooting has resulted in three individuals being wounded. The shooting occurred in the 200 block of W. St. Julian Street around 1:00 a.m. on Sunday. One victim is in serious condition. Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact the Savannah Police Department immediately. (WJCL News Savannah)
2. United Way of the Coastal Empire distributed books to over 700 children throughout the Savannah area on Friday. The distribution was made possible through a partnership with the Summer Food Programs. The main focus of the United Way's Read United initiative is to close the reading gap in low-income households.
