“Failure is not an option!”
That is what board member John Walters said in his editoral last week, offering an inside look at how generous donors provided $40,000 to match your gift in our end-of-year fundraising campaign.
With just nine days to go, our goal is less than $10,000 away. Your donation will be doubled to get us there.
The Gazette has served this area for close to 140 years, and now operates as a community-owned, locally-governed nonprofit. The Gazette is like a park or a library, part of the fabric of community, something we all use and we all help to support.
◆ A $50 donation becomes $100
◆ $250 becomes $500
◆ $1,000 becomes $2,000
Consider becoming a monthly donor — your entire year’s gift will be doubled.
Comfort Chickens have been such a hit, Gazette staffer Sandra Atkins has agreeed to make as many as our readers want as gifts with their donations of $500 or more. If you’re in the neighborhood, stop by the office to choose your colorful one-of-a-kind thank you gift, otherwise we’ll send it flying your way in the U.S. Mail.

This is a historic opportunity to put The Gazette on course for a strong, sustainable future. Please join in the effort with your donation in any amount.
It can’t happen without you!
This is your chance to invest in a service you depend on.
You’ll get full value and more.
