DavidsonNews.net is a start-up community news website run by a combination of paid staff and volunteers – your neighbors. We have monthly Internet and business expenses. And a paycheck would be nice, too.
A portion of our expenses are covered by paid advertising. But online advertising rates are still far cheaper than what our print competitors charge, so we must rely on readers to make up the difference. Please consider doing your part to keep the news flowing by making a voluntary subscription payment today.
We are grateful the 226 readers who made voluntary subscription payments in 2009. You have placed a vote of confidence in our site, and found what we offer valuable. But you make up only a fraction of those who read us. People come to DavidsonNews.net from our daily emails or via RSS feed; they bookmark as a favorite, or even have us as their Web start page. Some of you check the site once or several times daily, looking for the latest news updates, calendar listings or photos. If you’re not contributing yet, please join your neighbors in supporting your local news website.
Help us continue to provide timely and informative news and information in Davidson. Contributions aren’t tax deductible, but they will keep the site running.
Thanks for helping! – David Boraks and the DavidsonNews.net crew ….

“THANK YOU for your coverage of the (Town Board) candidates. I … wanted to read as much as possible before I voted … and I knew where to turn. Thank you for the comprehensive coverage you have provided through the process, and especially for the candidate profiles. You have succeeded in keeping opinion out of the profiles, but letting us know what they thought about issues residents care about.” – Jaletta Desmond
