Publisher’s Message: A Little Time Off

As you can see, I have a long way to go on my 2023 Chelsea Community Fair entry but I plan to make some progress on it this week while I take a little time off.

Aidan, Buzz and I hope you had a terrific Christmas and we wish you a happy and healthy 2023.

Go Blue.

All three of us are enjoying some time off this week. There will be new stories published each day, but not as many as everyone is used to reading. And, yes, I’ll check email periodically to make sure I’m not missing anything timely.

That said, with the arrival of new staff member Aidan combined with end of the year tasks and all the news that’s fit to publish about Chelsea, I’m very behind stitching my 2023 Chelsea Community Fair entry. So, I plan to keep my fingers busy making “x’s” on fabric rather than typing words on the laptop this week.

In the meantime, I’d like to thank everyone who supported Chelsea Update since my last thank you column. And I hope everyone will keep watching for our Christmas gift to the community in early 2023 — the huge series of stories we have planned for this year that will harmonize and humanize your Chelsea news. (See Sunday’s story with the big reveal.)

Thank you to the following folks for your non-tax deductible donations to Chelsea Update. And, if you’d still like to help our efforts, you can donate through Paypal on the home page by clicking on the donate button or by sending a check in any amount made out to Chelsea Update and mail it to 18829 Bush Road, Chelsea, MI 48118.
