The Daily Free Press' PayPal account is up and running, so you can send money online. Go to PayPal and send money to the account at editor@dailyfreepress.com. Don't forget to put "Alumni Association donation" in the subject line.

And you can still send checks to Back Bay Publishing at 648 Beacon St., Boston, 02215. Donating through the Freep and Back Bay Publishing means your contribution is tax-deductible. Back Bay Publishing's Employment Identification number is 04-2599762. We'll send all the necessary information to you again in your thank-you notes and receipts (which are on their way, for those who have already donated!).

A month after we first wrote to you soliciting donations for the Freep to pay down its debt to Turley Publishing, we've already surpassed our goal of $2,000! You've already sent in $2,305 and during tax season no less. This is a fantastic start for our Spring fund-raiser, and we hope to keep donations coming in strong for the next three weeks. Thanks again for your continued support!
