A few weeks ago, we sent out a request for donations toward the upkeep and maintenance of Vinton Today.

We've received donations from some of our readers, and we are MORE than grateful for these kind friends of ours.

We recently sat down with our list of things that we want to do to improve Vinton Today, and we prioritized them.

Then we looked at how many donations have come in and were happy to see that we are going to be able to start on some of the improvements!

Here are a some of the comments from readers who made donations. Some are sweet, and some just tickle our funny bone!

So now, a word from our sponsors...

"We appreciate your news, keep up the good work!"

"I should have done this sooner! Thanks for your daily efforts and keep up the good work!"

"Great news source, this is the first place I check for the latest local news. Great idea getting kids involved with journalism too!"

"We need you and are thankful!"

"Love being able to keep in touch with the hometown! I was Class of '65 and enjoy all the hard work you do to keep this paper coming to us online. I have read many great articles."

"I read this every day and look forward to your stories, news and photos. Thank you for contributing to the community!"

"I enjoy your news everyday to keep in touch about what is happening in Vinton."

"Vinton Today is much better than any newspaper in Vinton ever aspired to be! Keep up the great work!"

"Once I had friends working at the local newspaper. Now I have Vinton Today."

"Hope this will help a little bit."

"It's fun to keep track of what's going on in my old home town. The picture of my kindergarten class in a piece entitled "Blast from the Past" was well worth a donation!"

"We appreciate the electronic format and all local news."

"This is pretty timely. Within the last week or two, I received a form to subscribe to... and didn't even consider it. On the other hand, I DO want to donate to your wonderful website. I want to continue receiving your updates."

Thanks to all of you who have donated. If you have not made a contribution, please take a minute to do so!
