You’ve been wondering: How’s the $50 for the 50th campaign coming along? It’s a work in progress! We still need your help.

We want to celebrate the Townships Sun’s 50th anniversary this February with a reprint of our very first issue (February 8, 1974), and then a one-time, double-size “Legacy Edition.” This means double the work for our volunteers, but also double the cost. We are asking you to help us make this a reality. Please join us in our $50 for the 50th! campaign to raise $5,000.

Everyone who donates $50 before December 31, 2023, will receive a free copy of the Legacy Edition, and their name (or that of someone they would like to remember) will be inscribed in our Fifty Dollars for the Fiftieth Special Donors’ Scroll in this special edition.

To donate, just visit TownshipsSun/Donate* or send your cheque to:

Townships Sun

3355 College St. (Lennoxville)

Sherbrooke, QC J1M 0B8

Once we hit our 50th Legacy Edition fundraising target of $5K, we will be able to further invest in the 2024 Townships Young Voices, including higher cash awards for each of the fiction, non-fiction, poetry, art, and photography categories.

Thank you for helping us show how the Townships Sun has been enriching lives here in the Townships for the past 50 years, and forging ahead into the next 50!

Your Townships Sun team: Janet Angrave, Jennifer Brown, Melanie Cutting, Rachel Garber, Marion Greenlay, Angela Leuck, Steve Luxton, John Mackley, Ana Martinez, Marie Moliner, Karen Sockett, Beverly Taber Smith, Scott Stevenson, Jane Baird Warren, David Wright
