🎲 Casino Night, Wine Open House, Rose Workshop

Presented By

Hi {{ first_name | default: neighbors }},

This week brings a nice mix of community connection and weekend fun, from the Hello Lafayette! welcome event and a 1920s-themed casino night to a rose pruning workshop and an open house at Local Vines. It’s also a week with a few local headlines to be aware of and some well-earned recognition for familiar faces in town. With mild winter weather and plenty happening close to home, it’s a great time to get out and support the community.

Got a home to-do list quietly piling up? We’ve been there too. Honey Homes actually started right here in Lafayette as a neighborhood experiment - a few families looking for a reliable, friendly handyman who could help keep their homes running smoothly.

Today, we’re proud to support 650+ families with a dedicated, friendly, fully background-checked handyman they know and trust. Families count on us for more comfort, more joy, and a lot less stress at home - no flaking, no chasing, just help when you need it.

To jumpstart the year and say thank you to our community, we’re gifting our neighbors a free Honey Homes trial: a 30-minute planning visit + 1.5 hour of handyman time (mounting garage racks, tightening loose fixtures or fixing that sticky door that’s been driving you nuts - you name it!) We’d love to invite you to give it a try:
