SECTION A, PAGE 4 THE BAYSIDER, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2011 Lots to be thankful for

Each year in this space on this day, we take a little time to offer our thanks to those in the com- munity who help make our paper a success. This year is no different. First and foremost, we have to offer a sincere thanks to the many local businesses who choose to spend their advertising dollars with us. In these tough economic times, we understand that money is not exactly easy to come by,but we still have many local businesses who step up with ad- vertising each and every week and for that, we are eternally grateful. As a free newspaper, the money to pay our salaries and our circulation costs all comes from advertising and without the support of the many local businesses, we would not be able to provide this paper. Thanks also to the many people who con- tribute to the paper each and every week. From the regular letter writers (we’re looking at you Bob Longabaugh, Jeffrey Clay, Bob Tiffany) to those who only drop us a line once in a great while, each and every letter is appreciated. Same can be send for the folks who send in their press releases on a regular basis. Notices about craft fairs, raffles, church sup- pers, blood drives, book signings, library movie nights and more fill a good chunk of our pages every week and we can’t thank the folks of Al- ton, Barnstead, New Durham and the sur- rounding area for sending us that information. We believe that the job of a local newspaper is COURTESY PHOTO to publicize events like those and we wouldn’t be Scouting for Food able to do it without the people who take the time Cub Scout Pack 859 of New Durham collected 1,760 items on Sunday, Nov. 13, during the annual Scouting for Food community service proj- ect. The items were donated to the New Durham Food Pantry. to write up the information and send it our way. We should also thank the local photographers who send pictures our way on a regular basis.
