Deadlines are the last Wednesday of each month. 

I’ve read the Advocate ever since it’s first issue. With this issue, something important has changed.

This issue says to me, “We have an interesting, active, progressive, historic, caring community and we’re proud of it—we invite you to experience it.”
In a few words, the issue is great. Good design, organization, writing. Great work.
Thanks. Pat Barrentine

Thank you for your great work and your great paper that I read every month.  We are so lucky the Advocate is part of our community.  I actually took pleasure in paying for my ad with you. That's because of how you present news and the good feeling that I have when reading the Advocate.  I also see that you have an online PDF version of your paper.  So my ad will be seen even wider which is excellent news and well worth the price.  Thank you Advocate for supporting a thriving community!  - Chula Gemignani
