There is a new edition of Print on the newsstands with a story about the Kelly Strayhorn Theater's Hotline Ring fund raiser. We put the paper in the mail a day early, hoping it would get to everyone in time to catch the fundraiser, but we did not get our copy in the mail. So, what you need to is that tonight, from 5 p.m. to midnight, Kelly Strayhorn and six arts non-profits are holding a telethon-style fundraiser. Check it out at https://kelly-strayhorn.org/hotlinering/

We are really excited to announce the creation of a special journalism fund. A number of Print readers have come forward to establish the fund to help Print cover local news and provide special reports on important local issues. To join the effort, go to eastendprint.com and click on the tab for "Support Print journalism." There you can choose your level of support, from "intern" to "publisher", or any of the levels in between.

Print is out with a new edition that is on the stands at local grocers. Check out how we are pulling together even while staying apart.
