What’s Changing with Cypress Digest
We’re offering an upgraded subscription (don’t worry, the Free version is staying put), but we’re offering a new Insider membership for readers who want more savings, more access, and more of the best local content. And the monthly fee is intentionally crazy low, because we don’t want anyone in Cypress to be priced out of the amazing offers, resources, and community perks we’re building.

Cypress Digest Insider is going to be like the COSTCO of local publications:

02.13.26 Update
First, I want to be transparent about some updates coming in March. 🌲
Cypress Digest has grown — a lot. More stories, more community updates, and often 100+ events a week pulled from Facebook posts, flyers, DMs, and last-minute updates that never make it onto Google. What started as something simple has turned into something many of you actually rely on to plan your week.
And that’s the exciting part.
As Cypress keeps growing, I don’t want to just keep up; I want to do this better 🤗.
More organized. More intentional. More valuable.
So starting in March, I’m introducing an optional (and upgraded) paid version of Cypress Digest. The free newsletter isn’t going anywhere, but this next version will allow me to go deeper, deliver a revamped events experience, and work more closely with local businesses who want to give back to our readers.
And yes… our first Insider perk is already in the works. More next week 😉
Cheers, Cypress!

Cypress Digest is growing fast, and that’s a good thing 🌲
More readers
More events
More local businesses reaching out (seriously… my inbox 👀)
That growth means there’s a lot more happening in Cypress every single week. So starting in March, I’m evolving Cypress Digest to go deeper, be more intentional, and turn all that momentum into real value for you, not just more links to scroll past.
Here’s the important part:
Free Cypress Digest = staying.
(Deep breath. Nothing is disappearing overnight.)
You’ll still get:
Major community updates
A curated list of top event highlights
The stuff you actually need to know
Cypress Digest Insider = new (optional) upgrade.
This is for readers who want the full picture, including:
✅ The complete events calendar (100+ events)
✅ A revamped list that’s better vetted, clearly categorized, and easier to scan
✅ Subscriber-only local perks from businesses designed to be worth more than the $5/month cost
In short:
Free stays helpful
Insider goes deeper
And yes, it’ll probably save you time and money
More details coming soon (and yes, I’ll explain everything clearly).
Thanks for being part of this. We’re building something really special here 💚
