What a way to start a new week!
Yes, it’s already a hot one, weatherwise, but as I checked our ongoing fundraising drive for June, I was blown away by all the support you’ve shown for East Cobb News!
I’ll update the final totals at the end of the month, which is drawing near, and I thank all of you who have contributed.
After I logged off a while ago, I got an envelope delivered by the U.S. Postal Service to my office with a contribution check from a reader:
“Keep up the good work.”
I wish I could convey how much that means to me, but words do fail me. I really appreciate how East Cobb News readers value what they get at this website every day, because you’re the reason we do why we do.
We are asking readers who haven’t yet contributed to consider doing so, on a monthly recurring basis. We’re suggesting $6 a month, which is about a couple of cups of drive-through coffee.
We’ve set a goal of having 250 monthly donors, and while we’re a while away from that, your support is getting us closer.
In a couple of weeks, East Cobb News will mark its 8th anniversary, and I’m excited about what the future will bring as we continue to give you the local news you love.
I’ll keep this message short, because it’s hot and we’re all busy enjoying the summer, but keep this in mind:
When you support East Cobb News, you ensure stories don’t slip through the cracks. Every story we tell matters —whether it’s about local events, school board and county commission decisions, interesting people, or how people are volunteering and serving others.
What makes East Cobb News so distinctive? Simply put, there’s no place else to find news and information that highlights our community and keeps it strong.
Your gift of $6, $12, or even $25 a month helps us to tell countless stories—keeping you informed about what’s happening in East Cobb. And your gift delivers the news to readers—via email, social media, and of course, at eastcobbnews.com.
