We have almost made it through another year, and like the
previous years, it has been a doozy, for some more than others.
We’ve faced rising costs on pretty much everything from food
to utilities, and more, covering virtually every area of our lives, and
unfortunately, the end of the struggle doesn’t seem to be in sight yet.
The newspaper world also has been hit hard with rising costs
- particularly paper costs - which in turn have affected printing costs, as we’ve
watched our other costs rise, at the same time as ad revenue continues to
decline.
While times are tough for us, I encourage you to donate to
your favourite charities as they are all struggling too, and I strongly
encourage you to support your local business community, as they need it too.
Whether you've enjoyed reading The Chautauqua from the first
issue almost 21 years ago (time flies when you’re having fun!), are a brand new
reader, or somewhere in between, I sincerely hope that The Chautauqua has
enriched your life, as much as it enriched mine publishing it. If you would
like to ensure it continues to enrich others like yourself, I would also like
to take a moment to ask you to help out The Chautauqua by making a donation
before the end of the year. You can donate via three methods:
• Mail a
cheque or money order (made out to Beth Richardson – Chautauqua) to
• E-transfer
to thechautauqua@gmail.com
• PayPal at
https://paypal.me/thechautauqua (note: you will need to sign into PayPal first)
I am always touched by the feedback I receive. Your support
and kindness is always greatly appreciated, and I look forward to continuing to
bring joy and inspiration to you with each issue. Thank you so much for
allowing me to continue to be a part of your lives through the paper!
Beth
