May 2, 2025 Chautauqua

Beth's Ponderings

    I don’t have everything figured out yet, mainly because the ones making the decisions aren’t telling us what they’ve decided, and how it affects us!  I do know some things though...

   It’s been confirmed that I have a printing slot at the Lethbridge Herald press, and will be able to keep my schedule.  It’s been confirmed that the printing cost at Lethbridge will be $400/month MORE than I have been currently paying (this is the best quote I received in my inquiries!)

   I have an idea to raise funds for the paper cause I can’t do this alone!!

   As I’ve been publishing for 23+ years, I would like encourage folks to donate a minimum of $23 in the coming days, weeks, and months.  I will need at least 100 individuals to generously do so.

   I would also like to encourage the businesses and organizations to place a $100 ad in support of the paper.  I will need at least 23 of those ads to cover the costs.

   Thank you for your continued support for The Chautauqua!

  And, I want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to the staff at CentralWeb in Calgary for printing the paper and all of their assistance.
