Charter Members are renewing right on time as we launch the second year of the Town Crier’s Membership model. This is critically important to the main objective of the Membership model, which is to establish for prospective new owners that TC readers are supportive of keeping a real newspaper for our Hill community.

Up here, we still have eight local governmental agencies, supported by our tax dollars, which make decisions and/or recommendations as to how additional tax dollars are to be spent — and they are monitored by nobody but the Town Crier. The TC also provides verified updates as to happenings on our Hill, from emergency information to entertainment events.

Just this past week, the TC served our community by verifying and disseminating correct information regarding road closures due to a threatened thunderstorm in the face of false information being spread by other sources.

So far, 133 Members have renewed for their second year — that is almost 20 percent of our active Membership — and we are only one month into our second Membership year. Your renewals of your Memberships are keeping your Hill newspaper in action, serving our community. Congratulations to you all, and many thanks!
