Just about year ago, the Lincoln Squirrel website, which had then been operating continuously for 12 years, broke down. Like an old car, it had too many outdated parts and had reached the end of the line, so it needed to be rebuilt from scratch at non-inconsiderable expense. In hopes of defraying at least some of this cost, the Squirrel launched a GoFundMe fundraising campaign at the end of 2024 whose results far exceeded expectations — enough money came in to fully fund the project.
One thing remained undone, however. While everyone who contributed was acknowledged individually, I never thanked donors collectively for supporting the important work of small-town local journalism, and I want to rectify that. Everyone who donated deserves a big round of applause for helping the Squirrel get back on its feet (paws?). Thank you again, and here’s hoping for a happy and healthy 2026!
