Voice of Detroit: This month marks the fourth year our newspaper has been in existence. At times, it has meant a 24/7 amount of pro bono work by our staff. Please click either http://voiceofdetroit.net or the links below to read our most recent stories. Some have been posted on Facebook, but not everyone is on Facebook. Therefore this mass email alert.
ADDITIONALLY, WE ARE MAKING A SPECIAL APPEAL FOR DONATIONS AS RIGHT NOW WE ARE FLAT BROKE AND OUR WEB HOSTING FEE IS COMING DUE. There are many other expenses including access to PACER (the federal courts website), computer ink, paper, cost of P.O. Box (just had to resurrect that having accidentally let it lapse during hard times), LLC registration, internet access, travel, parking and gas, etc. We have deliberately NOT made VOD a website readers have to pay to obtain access to, because it's bad enough that we are limited to online publication.PLEASE HIT THE DONATE BUTTON ON OUR WEBSITE, again athttp://voiceofdetroit.net. (It will also tell you how you can mail donations.) ANY amount you can spare is greatly appreciated.
We want also to express our heartfelt appreciation for your readership.
Thank you, Diane Bukowski, Editor Voice of Detroit
