Please consider donating to the Marlboro Alliance to support the Marlboro Mixer
It costs the Alliance approximately $3700 to publish the bi-monthly Mixer each year. The Alliance requests $3000 from the town to help offset this cost.
The expenses each year are approximately:
$1,500 - Editor Stipend - This breaks down to about $250 per issue with 6 issues per year. Each issue takes approximately 10 hours of time to put together, edit, manage with the printer and get mailed.
$1,200 - Printing - Each Issue has many pages and the printer is giving us a non-profit rate. If we increase the number of pages or publish more frequently this printing cost will increase. If people elect to receive the mixer in email this cost decreases. We ask that people who receive the Mixer as paper in the mail donate $15 each year to help offset this cost.
$1,000 - Postage - If we increase the number of pages or publish more frequently this printing cost will increase. If people elect to receive the mixer in email this cost decreases. We ask that people who receive the Mixer as paper in the mail donate $15 each year to help offset this cost.
To help keep costs down we ask that people consider receiving the mixer in their email. See the form above to submit your email address.
If you wish continue to receive the Mixer in it's printed from, please consider donating $10 per year to help cover the costs of printing and mailing.
Donations should include a note that it is for the Mixer and can be made on our donation page or by sending a check to:
