The $200,000 challenge

The La Conner Weekly News will continue in 2025 only if its readers become its funders. To assist those who will have to provide the major dollars needed, here is this incentive: For every $100,000 donated to the La Conner Community News organization, I will add $10,000.

There are 10 households in our Valley that can invest $20,000 each and 20 households that can offer $10,000 to ensure the future of the community’s weekly newspaper. Now is the time to decide and to do that.

These will be the heroes among us for maintaining a major thread that holds the fabric of La Conner together. That is another aspect that makes this place special.

To paraphrase: “Now is the time for all good people to come to the aid of their community.” Don’t do this for me. Do this for each other.
