McCabe, Grants Pass, OR Ms. Colleen McNamer, Grants Pass, OR Leslie Lee & Dennis Meiners, Jacksonville, OR Some Applegaters are missing! Were they abducted by aliens and taken away in a spaceship? Where have these Applegaters gone? Why do we think these people are missing? Because, after our recent fundraising drive, we are still approximately $6,000 short of our goal to finance the Applegater for 2012. With the rising cost of printing and postage we need YOU—the rest of the Applegate readers—to please send in your donations. $5 is all we need from each household to enable the Applegater to be published for another year. Some readers sent in more than $5—this is appreciated by us and those who can’t afford to donate at the present time. Is the paper not valuable to residents to find out what is happening in the Applegate Watershed? Do people use the informative maps and other information that you find only in the Applegater? Are they using the paper for fire starters? Puppy training? Take a minute and send in your $5 donation today. All donations to the Applegater are tax-deductible. Don’t make us send Guido after you… Thank you!
