As you read in previous issues, our newsletter printing costs have increased 33% overnight. This newsletter is entirely volunteer-produced–from local writers such as Erika Bolstad, Lydia Kiesling, Alex Frane, Mike Thelin, and Jordan Michelman to a volunteer copyeditor, volunteer designer and volunteer Treasurer. Sponsorship ads defray costs but don’t entirely cover them. That’s why we’re asking for your support. Speaking of ads, a HUGE thank you to the local businesses that sponsor an ad.
In the last six weeks, we have received just under $1000–about 50% of our goal. Thank you SO much to those who have given! We’re halfway there but we still have a ways to go to meet our goal. Do you like keeping up with all the neighborhood projects the SNA Board is engaged in—projects such as the 37th Street Plaza, the repainting of the City Repair Sunflower on 33rd, and the Sunnyside Shower Project? If so, please consider supporting this newsletter. Even a small donation of $10–20 a year would help us keep going. Without your donations we will have to either go to every-other-month, or possibly abandon the newsletter completely.
Donations can be made via Give Lively (tinyurl.com/395trwzw) or by check to SEUL 3534 SE Main St, Portland OR 97214, made out to The Sunnyside Neighborhood Association. Thank you in advance for considering.
