See you tonight at the Palace! Meet ⁦The Jaffman⁩, talk sports, buy raffles to win 4 tickets to a luxury skybox at Yankees Stadium, and send local kids to camp this summer!

Progress in CT! And this particular approach involves no new money being spent by the government. It's just saying... hey if you're spending ad money on media anyway, how about you make an effort to put some of it toward community media.

Love that one of our top read stories this morning reports an FOI battle.

A bad bill that ought to tank. Noteworthy and perhaps telling that the administration of Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont refused to make anyone available to directly answer questions from Hearst CT Media. Dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge.

Thanks, all you friends of campership. We're at 10 donors, $1,115 raised, with about an hour to go in our first Give Local via Connecticut Community Foundation. Thanks on behalf of the kids you've sent to camp this summer!

Humbled, and grateful. We're past the $1,000 mark with 9 donors! And time's not up. Thank you, friends of Greater Waterbury Campership Fund.

Update on Give Local: Greater Waterbury Campership Fund is up to $350 in this experimental, inaugural year. Can you help push us higher before time runs out and send kids to camp this summer?

Thanks to Pamela Rotatori, UnitedWayofGW campaign co-chairwoman with David Rotatori of Ion Bank, for her shout out to Republican American for coverage of United Way efforts. It’s one way #localjournalismmatters .

A newspaper editor can’t disagree with UnitedWayofGW’s theme this year: “Let every voice be heard.” Thanks for their volunteer support of the Campership Fund.

Woo hoo! $200 for Campership so far in our new effort as part of Give Local. That's one kid to camp this summer. Who else can help us before time runs out?
