Generous readers help keep Mildred and others informed and connected
by Melanie Jongsma, Publisher
LANSING, Ill. (December 2, 2022) – Giving NEWSday (November 29) was a success — not only for The Lansing Journal, but also for the broader community. Special gifts from committed readers will cover the costs of 25 originally written, edited, and formatted local articles. This November thank-you recognizes those special gifts as well as our regular supporters and sustainers.
We are grateful to be serving a community that recognizes the value of local news and is willing to pitch in to keep this newspaper going. We rely on the support of readers like you to fuel our community service journalism.
So thank you, November supporters, sustainers, and special Giving NEWSday givers.
