The Times is an all-volunteer, independent newspaper.
We try to appear 6 times a year.
We receive some funds from advertising,but more from donations from residents such as yourselves.
We certainly appreciate your generosity.
If you want to help us out, please send a check to our business manager. Even more than money, however, we need new blood to assist us in writing and assembling this newspaper.
We want it to be a continuing tradition, but only you can determine if that is to be.
We desperately would like someone to sell ads to neighborhood businesses.
We need more reporter/writers.
We also need sources, that is, people to call us to let us know about the residents and their milestones. Help in distributing the paper to block captains and businesses would be great too. Art Santen and Brad Weir have been handling much of our distribution for years, but an extra pair of hands or two would really help. Many of our block distributors have been performing this role for a very long time, and this silent service is truly appreciated.
But some blocks need new distributors, and that may be a role you could play without a large time commitment. Your commitment can be as great as you want it to be. Let me hear from you!
