A HEARTFELT THANK YOU!

IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO 
KEEP A COMMUNITY 
NEWSPAPER ALIVE! 


PLEASE SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL 
NEWSPAPER!

Well, we've made it to another Birthday! Since 2006, I have been 
publishing a weekly newspaper in the San Gabriel Valley specifically 
covering the cities of Sierra Madre, Arcadia, Monrovia, Duarte, 
Pasadena, and also South Pasadena, Altadena and San Marino. It 
was August 4, 2007 however, when the first edition of the Mountain 
Views Observer (now know as the Mountain Views News) was 
published! My how time flies! That is a total of 698 CONSECUTIVE 
weeks; approximately 12,564 pages; more than 7 million print 
readership! Our website traffic exceeded 4 million page reads in 
2019 alone! I am pretty proud of what we have accomplished over 
the last 14 years, despite huge economic challenges, such as the 40% 
tariff on newsprint that comes from China and has adversely impacted 
print media in the United States or California's AB5 which 
is another threat to newspapers statewide, we survived.

 And then.....2020 and COVID-19 happened! To date, we are still 
alive and moving forward. We are proceeding cautiously and are 
committed to continue providing you with accurate information 
about your community. 

 In March, when we reached out to you for help we expected that by 
May at the very least the Emergency would be over. We could not 
have imagined in our wildest dreams that in August the crisis would 
still be with us. As indicated in the beginning, the Mountain Views 
News has survived primarily on the paper's ability to publish legal 
notices and the support of our advertisers many of whom are also 
impacted by the COVID19 virus. However, that has all changed. 
We were informed mid-March that the County of Los Angeles 
closed all public access to buildings that process legal notices. Such 
action, while absolutely necessary means that the income generated 
from the publication of the Fictitious Business Notices came to an 
abrupt halt and that has not changed. Without the ability to publish 
those legal notices, continued publication of the Mountain Views 
News remains in jeopardy.

 With your help, however, we can continue to sustain the only paper 
where your community news comes first while we work on alternatives 
to the current legal notice processing is found or LA County 
Buildings allow public access again.

 Remember, print media is the only source of information that 
CANNOT BE HACKED! What you read in the Mountain Views 
News is accurate and as publisher, I stand behind every word. Our 
sources are reliable and dependable. Our Opinions share both sides 
of the argument. Community events and local organization activities 
are also an integral part of what we provide each week. And, 
while we do have an online presence, each week thousands of print 
copies are distributed. 

 Below are 4 ways that you can help sustain your local paper. All 
support is greatly appreciated. 

Thank you in advance. Susan Henderson, Owner/ Publisher/Editor

A special thanks to all of our Supporters and Subscribers! We could not have made it this far without you. This heart was created 
by my Granddaughter (Maila Thomas) who really knows how important the Mountain Views News is to our community. Please 
note that this is only a partial listing.
