A big thank you to the 45 new, upgraded, and gifted members who supported our Level Up Local News member drive. Thanks to the influx of new members, we crossed 350 total members. Local news is a group effort, and these folks understand the assignment. That’s how we keep this community informed. Thank you.
Support: West St. Paul Reader is supported by neighbors like you who pay a small amount to keep local news alive. During the drive, we explored the economics of local news and why we need support.
Goal: Rather than a single goal, we focused on a series of smaller goals. We reached four of those, unlocking multiple levels: We shared new stickers, will send out a new postcard later this month, will now do history stories every month, and will be redesigning our site in the near future. Thanks for helping us take local news up a notch!
Party: We celebrated on Sunday evening with a members party at FoodSmith:
