The Breezes Needs Your Help!

Dayna, North End Resident and Reader

“I look forward to the always-prompt delivery of the next edition to my mailbox, and to receiving the email alerting me to its availability! I so appreciate that there remains a local community paper at a time when so many others have ceased publication. It’s been a great introduction to the North End!”

“Being a part of the North End Breezes board for the past two years has been a privilege. The team does amazing work within the community and serves as a resource hub for all. They are committed, and most importantly, passionate about preserving the North End’s legacy, while also continuing to foster its growth. Whether you are new to the area, or a longtime resident, I encourage you to volunteer with the Breezes in some capacity if you’re able. This team is small but mighty and they are always looking for more support. I’m grateful for the relationships and community I’ve been able to build while serving on the board.

I’ll be joining Welcome Inn as the Executive Director and look forward to taking on a new role in the North End Community while staying connected to The Breezes. “

Since 1972 this newsletter has been published in a variety of forms, but it is the partnership with our readers that has always been at the heart of what we do. This is seen in the financial stability of the newsletter as in 2015 24% of our income came through donations and fund-raising activities.

But now, we need your help. Costs have increased just as we’ve grown. Our advertising support that we relied on has dropped; some because after 50 years of support, they are retiring – go figure – and some have decided to dedicate their advertising budget in other ways. That means that we are working on a month to month basis.

Our small volunteer publication team works tirelessly to find and publish the news but we could use more people. Our Board of Directors is active in their jobs and community and their time is filled. We have ideas for fund raising but no help to do it.

We know that The Breezes is appreciated by our readers in the North End and beyond. We wouldn’t be here 50 years later if that wasn’t the case.

We hope that you continue to support us. Your donation, whether small or large allows us to continue to bring the news of the community to the community.
