Melody Falconer-Pounder hasn't added a story.
The first issue of the Bayfield Breeze was published in early July 2009 and since then we have published over 500 weekly issues. It was recently brought to my attention that the Bayfield Breeze website is on life support. The host company believes they can keep it alive for a couple more months but no longer. We need to have a new site built on a new platform.
We are quite proud of our weekly publication. Not only does it keep locals and summer residents informed of the happenings in our area but it has grown to be of interest to people in the surrounding communities especially since the shuttering of their small-town papers. We feel strongly that we want to continue the Bayfield Breeze. We hope our readership feels the same way.
With this our 510th issue we are launching a New Website Appeal. We are pleased to announce that the Bayfield Lions’ Club recognizing our “excellent community effort and dedication” has approved an initial donation to the appeal of $1,500. This donation is to be followed by a matching of dollar for dollar on the next $1,500 we can raise from individuals and groups who want to see this publication continue.
Anyone wishing to make a financial contribution is welcome to send a cheque made payable to the Bayfield Breeze to my attention at 79218 Orchard Line, Goderich, ON N7A 3X8. We have also launched a crowd funding campaign via Fundrazr for anyone who would prefer to use a credit card to donate.
We view this situation not as a setback but an opportunity to improve to serve our community better. I thank you for your consideration in continuing and growing the Bayfield Breeze – the village’s online news source since 2009. - Melody
