MY MESSAGE ON THE MAHAIWE MARQUEE ON A COVID NIGHT IN 2021, WHEN I RENTED THE MAHAIWE FOR A VIEWING OF THE BREAKFAST CLUB

Dear Subscribers, and the Non-Subscribers you have so generously dragged here:

I’m 54 years old today, which means I get one wish, and I’m not wasting it on small potatoes like clean oceans, world peace or even a helicopter to wing me to the grocery store on Saturdays.

I wish for 200 paid subscribers.

To convince you to be one of them, you’re getting some insider dish from me today.

The Village Green is three months old and growing every day, thanks to you, my 1000+ readers and 467 subscribers.

We’re publishing profiles, deep dive investigations by both me and our contributors, personal essays, opinion, a prank, 7 episodes of our podcast, From the Gazebo, and regular summaries of town and school committee meetings.(Stay tuned for new voices coming later this summer.)

But guess what? Hundreds more people read Village Green stories than the Village Green has subscribers.
