We would like to thank Heritage of Hope for allowing us to be a part of their organization. We would like to thank Tim Andrews for a key matching grant the very first year. The Hawcreek-Flat Rock Area Endowment through the Heritage Fund and the Hope Town Council with Economic Development Income Tax grants have both been of tremendous help too.
We would like to thank all the individuals, organizations, and businesses who have sponsored us through a short or long-term ad.
Numerous individuals have donated toward HSJ Online. 2018 was our strongest year for individual contributions with more than $4,000 received through our first HSJ Online Benefit. That fund-raising event featured Julian Smith and Bud Herron portraying two local men who served in the Civil War.
Finally, we would like to thank all of our readers for helping us reach well over 1 million page views and 1,438 Facebook likes.
It would be helpful to let us know if you are planning on attending the annual meeting. Please contact Stephanie Shoaf at [email protected] or call 812-374-6524. (Please come no matter what!)
