Our Snail Mail Club is here, giving you a piece of our lively community in a super cute envelope. 

Tucson is full of interesting people, amazing food and picturesque views that look like they came straight out of a painting.

So why are our mailboxes so drab in comparison?!

Most of our mailboxes are full of cobwebs, ads and dreaded monthly bills. Nothing that comes close to representing the lively community we all love.

We’re here to change that.

The #ThisIsTucson Snail Mail Club is officially here! Get ready for a little joy delivered straight to your mailbox, where you’ll receive locally-inspired mail from our team — think postcards, notes and surprises that celebrate Tucson life.

We wanted to create something that features local art, interesting tips, recipes, stickers and other fun items wrapped up in a cute envelope, letting you cherish each item instead of swiping onto the next thing. In a world of texts and emails, this is something you can actually hold onto (and maybe even put on your fridge or use for your scrapbooking spreads).

Here’s how it works:

For $15 a month, you’ll receive our monthly snail mail letter, each with its own fun theme that represents our lovely desert community.

This month, we’re celebrating wildflowers! You can expect to get a postcard featuring a beautiful poppy photo taken by Arizona Daily Star photographer Mamta Popat, along with some tips from her on how to photograph wildflowers to capture their beauty.

You’ll also get an exclusive letter from us, a cute poppy sticker, a springtime recipe that comes from The Coronet’s kitchen and some wildflower seeds so you can grow your own at home.

We’re starting small: a limited number of spots for March are open today. If you want in, be sure to sign up here before they’re gone.

But that’s not all — we’re also launching brand-new #ThisisTucson membership levels, so you can support local storytelling in a way that fits you:
