Hello…<\/strong><\/div>\n
\n
Many of you have been following our little rag for years or decades. And some of you have just recently discovered us. In 2015, we have never had so many<\/strong><\/div>\n
Zephyr<\/i> readers, the quality of our work has never been higher, and we’ve never felt better about the honesty and integrity of our publication.<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
But…<\/i><\/strong><\/div>\n
\n
Over the past five years,<\/strong><\/div>\n
The Zephyr<\/i> has increasingly relied less on advertising and more on its readers to keep us going. A small loyal core of businesses continue to offer their financial support but without a substantial contribution from<\/strong><\/div>\n
Zephyr<\/i> readers, via the Backbone, we cannot survive.<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
We have not been very aggressive about pursuing your contributions to<\/strong><\/div>\n
The Zephyr<\/i>, but right now it’s critical that we increase our Backbone membership. <\/strong><\/div>\n
WE NEED TO KNOW…
\n<\/strong><\/div>\n
IS IT IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE ZEPHYR <\/i>ALIVE?<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n


\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0As always, we’re not asking for much. We rely on you, and please remember… <\/strong><\/div>\n

\n* We don’t accept grants or gifts from wealthy benefactors.
\n<\/i><\/strong><\/div>\n
* We don’t accept corporate advertising.
\n<\/i><\/strong><\/div>\n
* The content of our writing is never based on financial considerations.
\n<\/i><\/strong><\/div>\n
* We are completely independent of outside influences.<\/i><\/strong><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’m way too old to start a new line of work. Please don’t let it come to this…<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thanks for all your support in the past and please, keep reading.<\/strong><\/strong><\/div>\n
