Please Consider a Year End Financial Contribution to Hill & Lake Press

3:13 AM CDT on November 1, 2023

While this paper is free to you, it is not free to produce. We rely on the support of our advertisers, and on the generosity of our readers.

We hope you will consider making a gift of any size to Hill & Lake Press via check or credit card by following the instructions provided in the adjacent image or by visiting us at www.hilllakepress.org.

One of the great joys of help- ing to revive this paper has been hearing from readers about how much they feel a part of the community now that the paper is delivered by the USPS into their mailboxes and not left in stacks in apartment building foyers or lobbed at the front door with a 50-50 success rate as it used to be. This means that thousands of readers now get a clean paper in a timely fashion in their mailboxes.

We were able to get a good bulk mail postage rate because we are a 501(c)(3) non-profit, the same reason you can make a year-end tax-deductible contribution to our little paper that could. And does.

As leaves fall and seasons change, we offer thanksgiving for those things in our lives that matter most to us. We hope that you appreciate Hill & Lake Press as a valued community asset.

So, what better time to support the Hill & Lake Press with a financial contribution? The little paper could connect us all — and does!
