Help us meet our match!

A group of key supporters and board members have pledged a total of $100,000 as a matching challenge in support of The Lakeville Journal and The Millerton News. We have until October 31 to meet the match.

 

Dear Readers, 

Our reporters have been busy covering the 2023 town elections and the abundance of wonderful activities that take place here during the fall. If you have found our recent reporting useful we hope you’ll make a donation now. We only have until October 31 to raise $8,000 to meet our matching grant.

Your support is important, and we wouldn’t ask if it wasn’t. The Lakeville Journal and The Millerton News report on the essential information our readers need to make important decisions and advocate for change. The Lakeville Journal Foundation Matching Campaign is an opportunity for all of us to directly contribute to the sustainability of our newspapers.

Here’s how it works: for every dollar you donate, a group of key supporters and board members have pledged a total of $100,000 in support of The Lakeville Journal and The Millerton News. Your support will effectively double the money raised.

We know that there are many requests for contributions at this time of year. The Lakeville Journal and The Millerton News need your help to keep you and our communities abreast of important issues. If you can, please support our journalists with a contribution today and help us keep bringing you the highest quality news.  

The Lakeville Journal Foundation, publisher of The Lakeville Journal and Millerton News is a 501(c)(3) organization. Donations are tax deductible to the extent permissible by law.

To make a donation, subscribe, or learn more about the campaign, please click here or contact us at publisher@lakevillejournal.com

Thank you for your ongoing support. Your contribution, no matter the size, makes a difference!

Frozen fun in Lakeville

While the chill of recent weeks has driven many Northwest Corner residents inside and their energy bills up, others have taken advantage of the extended cold by practicing some of our region’s most treasured — and increasingly rare — pastimes: ice sports.

I am one of those who goes out rather than in when the mercury drops: a one-time Peewee and Bantam league hockey player turned pond hockey enthusiast turned general ice lover. In the winter, my 12 year-old hockey skates never leave my trunk, on the chance I’ll pass some gleaming stretch of black ice on a roadside pond.

In “From All Angles,” audience members will witness Garet&Co translate three of the works presented at their fall show, “Can’t Keep Friends,” danced in the round, where viewers can witness each piece from a new angle.
