Best OB Rag Fundraiser Ever!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

To all our readers and supporters who have given the Rag our best fundraiser ever! It’s been amazing.

We asked our community for $3,000 and you gave us $5,000! Incredible.

It’s all true — as of this morning, our annual summer campaign has raised $4,920.

This will definitely get us through the next year — our server costs nearly a thousand by its little own self — and we have the subscriber system to pay, plus we try to give many of our writers a little something for their work.

Part of the reason this season’s quest was so successful is because we’ve made new groupings of friends — from University Community, Uptown, Hillcrest, Mira Mesa — due to our championing of their causes. Yet in addition, our usual great supporters from Ocean Beach and Point Loma came through with more than the usual.

A former lawyer and current grassroots activist, I have been editing the Rag since Patty Jones and I launched it in Oct 2007. Way back during the Dinosaurs in 1970, I founded the original Ocean Beach People’s Rag - OB’s famous underground newspaper -, and then later during the early Eighties, published The Whole Damn Pie Shop, a progressive alternative to the Reader.
