The
Sandpiper is an all
volunteer effort by
a group of editors
and hundreds of writers,
rounding up news,
opinions, and items
of local interest ten
months a year. The
mission is to support
our Community Plan
which has guided the
development and preservation
of our small town character.
Even
though the volunteers
create the content,
there are expenses
for printing and
mailing
to all Del Mar
households.
These expenses
amount
to about $20,000
per
year. Instead of
subscriptions,
the Sandpiper relies
on donations to
cover
these expenses.
This
year we decided to
develop a long-range
strategy for sustaining
the paper’s
financial underpinning
by establishing a new
category of giving called
the “Publisher’s
Circle.” Already,
a group of Del Mar families
has joined the Publisher’s
Circle, pledging donations
of $1,000 or more for
each of the next three
years. Their generosity
provides more than
half of our annual expenses.
We
invite you
to join
in this
effort by
becoming a
financial supporter
of the
Sandpiper. Please
join and
add your
name to
the Publisher’s
Circle
list
or
join
one
of
the
other
circles
listed
below.
Publishers’ Circle
$1000
per
year
for
three
years
Editors’ Circle
$500-999
for

Writers’ Circle

Included
in this
issue is
an envelope
that will
enable you
to mail
your contribution.
(Please be
aware that
donations are
not tax
deductible.)
Rosanne
and Joel
Holliday will
host a
Garden Party
this month
to honor
all those
donors who
have generously
given at
the $100
plus level.

of this
community asset
