The Alley Communications, Inc., Board of Directors decided to cancel publication of June’s The Alley Newspaper because of limited revenues.  Each issue of The Alley Newspaper requires additional money beyond ad income in order to keep our pages as full as possible with the news and views important to our readers.  Additional income was insufficient to publish a June issue.
However, plans are still underway for a special, dynamic July issue of The Alley Newspaper featuring the Annual Report of the work of the Backyard Initiative.  This situation is URGENT, you can help so that it doesn’t get repeated again this year. Each monthly issue of this community governed newspaper costs only about $2500 to publish because of the incredible commitment.of our volunteer writers. If just 250 people give $10 each, we can guarantee one month of publication which in turn, helps to prove to our donors and funders that our readership is behind our endeavors. Donate online and help us “Roll the Presses” for the remainder of 2012 and beyond:
