The OB Rag’s Thanksgiving Appeal for Donations – Keep the Press Local and Free

Our Goal is $2,000 – We Now Need Another $600

Last Friday, Nov. 18, the OB Rag began a week of fund-raising, appealing to our readers and supporters to help us with our costs. With a goal is to raise $2,000 over the week, we now have reached $1405. We’re hoping to cover the remaining $600 this week.

Here’s why we need that much. Over the last 6 months, here is what we have spent from our shoe-string budget:

• $900 – Rent to Green Store for our office
• $510 – yearly cost of server
• $295 – to our writers (not much, we agree)
• $112 – subscriptions – to help keep us in the know
• $ 60 – statcounter
• $ 40 – image program – since ended
• $ 64 – PO Box and postage
• (notice what’s not added, like gas and other cost reimbursements)
  $1981 – Total
