Hello, neighbor! Welcome to the Sherwood Sun weekly newsletter.

In this week's edition, we cover a much-loved horse who inspired a local rescue; what Sherwoodians think about the food cart pod foot race heating up in town; TriMet's vote on widespread service cuts that affect Sherwood's Line 97; and City Council approving a zoning change to conditionally allow food cart pods along Tualatin-Sherwood Road.

After that, check out our contributed monthly columns on building relationships from the Sherwood Area Chamber of Commerce and the ideal time for wisdom teeth removal from New Smiles Dental.
