A Brief Public Service Announcement

This is a public service announcement for anyone who receives the upcoming financial appeal from The Leader.  This appeal asks community members/readerrs to make a charitable donation (which will not be tax-exempt) to The Leader to increase that business's profitability.

The publishing conglomerate that owns The Leader, McElvy Media Group, boasts annual revenues of $13 million.  This revenue is generated through the publication of 25 local newspapers on a weekly basis throughout the country.   You can read more about this business at their website.

Many who read this post will be receiving an appeal from Mr. McElvy next week to send him money to keep one of his 25 papers afloat.  I just wanted you to have a little bit more information about the company behind this appeal to your generosity before they throw it in your driveway.
