2 Summer 2010 Applegater What can this do? After numerous Applegater budget meetings over the last few months, we have come to the realization that if each family that received the Gater in their mailbox would send us five dollars our financial worries would be solved for an entire year. That’s right—ONLY FIVE DOLLARS per household per year is all it would take! Seems reasonable, don’t you think? You could continue to get the only local newspaper featuring articles pertaining to the Applegate. For five dollars per year you can keep this local news coming your way. Five dollars could be a challenge for some families right now but if 170 people sent in $100 per year or 340 people sent in $50 per year or 680 people sent in $25 per year our financial woes would be solved for an ENTIRE YEAR. Every issue we have more articles from local residents than we can print—wouldn’t you rather be reading what your friends and neighbors have to say? The Applegater Newspaper is run by a group of dedicated volunteers who spend hundreds of hours each year making this the great publication that it is! Each issue until our goal is reached, we will report on our progress. We will also continually feature our fundraising efforts on our website www.applegater. org. HELP us reach the goal by sending in your tax deductible contribution by August 1! Our address is 7386 Hwy 238, PMB 308, Jacksonville, OR 97530. If you need more info call Paula Rissler at 541-846-7673. 2/1/2011 $20,000 Our cup does NOT runneth over— $15,000 YOU can help fill it! 11/1/2010 8/1/2010 $10,000 With the fundraiser and donations, we were able to fill the cup to about $8,400. We still have a ways to go so keep those $5,000 donations coming.
