The Jaw Appeal
a note from Editor Shawn Rossiter

I swear, the "Our Last Go" email was meant to be our last fundraising plea. But, literally while that email was going out, our image editor, Shalee Cooper, was on her bike in the Granary District, shooting images for this month's edition. Her tire got caught in the railroad tracks, her body went flying over the handlebars, and she dislocated her jaw.

So, there I am texting and phoning, "Shalee, where are the Moulton images? Shalee, have you gotten a hold of Elmer Preslee? Shalee when can I expect the Paul Vincent Bernard shots?"

And this is how Shalee looked.

So, here's the deal. One last plea. We didn't reach our goal during the Spring Fundraiser. Had we reached it, one of the things we wanted to do was bump up Shalee's pay by $50 a month. We'd still like to do that (especially now that she has that doctor's bill).

So, we're just asking, help us raise $600 more.

It will all go to our jaw-droppingly good image editor.
