News & Notes
EXTRA: The Fork in the Road for Strictly East
I have been producing this newsletter & website for 20 years now, a minimum of 3 hours a month and the website is not free. I have decided it needs to pay its way. If you would donate $2 a month, or $20 a year, by December, Strictly East will continue in 2026. If not, it will fold.
If only 40 of my 200 subscribers participate, I will continue. That's less than 1/4 of my readers.
Can you find it in your heart?
