We’ll be back in June!

ChicoSol is on a 10-week publishing break so that we can rebuild our fund balance (please donate!) and make some website repairs. Look for new content in June, and in the meantime follow us on Facebook and Twitter for breaking news developments on our stories.

ChicoSol has surpassed the 10,000 “unique visitors” every month so far this year. There’s no paywall or corporate cash rolling in, but a donation of any amount will help us continue to publish a new issue the last week of each month. Thanks to all who have recently donated!

To donate: Make a donation to our North Valley Community Foundation fund online or by check. You will be added to a subscribers list if you wish to receive a monthly email.

Donate online here. Donate by check to ChicoSol in care of NVCF, The Foundation Building, 1811 Concord Ave., Ste. 22, Chico, CA 95928.
