Without these kind donations and the advertisers who have been so loyal to Chelsea Update, I would not be able to continue providing everyone with all the news that’s fit to print about Chelsea as my full-time job.

Here are my peanuts, which won first place as a farm crop and yes, there was competition.

As many of you know, I have spent the last two years working extremely hard every day to publish as much news as possible for the community. And now I am doing even more as I bump up my local sports coverage.

So, since I haven’t begged lately, I ask those of you who enjoy what I publish for you each day to follow the lead of your neighbors and friends. Please consider making a donation of any amount to Chelsea Update and help me continue with my efforts. Please send your checks to Chelsea Update, 18829 Bush Road, Chelsea, MI 48118. Or, you can donate through Paypal.
