Newcomers tell us often that Grice Connect is the best way they have found to become "connected" to their new community. They just don't understand why so many locals kept it a secret from them!
We continue to receive correspondence from newcomers who have discovered Grice Connect and are surprised no one had told them about it already.
They are asking us to figure out ways to share Grice Connect with other newcomers to our area. Will you help us with this?
Unveiling Grice Connect: A Must-Have Resource for Newcomers
Here are a couple of the correspondences we have received:
"My husband and I spent days with a local Realtor trying to decide if Statesboro was the right fit for us. All the way through the buying process and setting residence here, NO ONE mentioned Grice Connect to us.
Moving to a new town, where you do not know anyone and trying to find your place is difficult. It wasn't until a Google search for newcomers in Statesboro that I discovered a wonderful newcomer story by Grice Connect's Senior Reporter Michele LeBlanc. This is how we discovered Grice Connect.
We immediately subscribed and over the next few weeks we learned so much about our new home. Getting the Bulloch Daily is the highlight of our day now. Please ask Realtors, utility companies and locals to share Grice Connect with anyone new to town. It is such a great way to get connected." -- April M.
“It was a pleasure meeting you downtown. Thanks for signing us up for the Bulloch Daily local news update.
At that time, I mentioned that my husband and I moved to Statesboro during the COVID pandemic. We relocated here from the Atlanta area and knew very little about Statesboro when we moved here.
Fortunately, several months after moving here we learned of Grice Connect. I actually wish I knew of it sooner. Your website and daily email have provided us with so much information about Statesboro and many other issues and topics. We have really enjoyed it. Please keep up the great work.” -- Wendy W.

More than Just a Facebook Page
Lots of you (24,000) follow us on Facebook, but many think Grice Connect is just a Facebook page. If this is you, you may only be seeing about 5% of the daily news we publish, and we want you to see the full benefits we are working hard to provide for our community.
On Facebook, you usually only see what Facebook thinks you want to see through their algorithms.
