I was notified on
Wednesday, Oct 9th that the cost to print this paper was going up $200/month,
effective immediately! This means I have very hard decisions to make.
And, I was told I do
NOT qualify for the grant, or other grants because I’m not a new business, I am not a non-profit, and I’m not a
traditional newspaper.
When I did my
donation plea this summer, I was asked why I didn’t start a Go Fund Me campaign. I prefer to keep my fundraising LOCAL, and I
didn’t feel I could justify supporting a
On the other hand,
for example, if you give me $10 (directly into my hand, cash, cheque,
etransfer, PayPal) the entire $10 goes into the Chautauqua bank account and is
used for the ongoing operations of the paper.
With this printing cost increase (and other expenses), advertising and donations are VITAL to keep going. Thank you for your support!
