The Walpole Clarion

No, not a “typo” really the year is ending and it is time to begin putting together next year’s first issue of the CLARION – January 2026. Due to the holidays and the printer’s schedule, the closing date is in one week, Saturday, December 20th. Submission guidelines, and contact email are on the CLARION website.

Your early submissions are always welcome and appreciated as I start developing the layout well beforehand. If you have some “news” send it along. In addition, I like to have on-hand material of interest that is not time-sensitive to fill space to round out a pleasing issue. So, if you would “like to be in print” and have something to write and share (images as well), send along for possible inclusion space permitting. Please do remember, it is the advertisers in each issue that make this community publication possible, so please support and thank them.

If you have any questions, or interest in placing an advertisement, reaching over 1900 Walpole, North Walpole and Drewsville addresses, I welcome your inquiries, so please do get in touch with me. Advertising information and contact information is on the CLARION website.

Thank you, RAY BOAS, Publisher

Notices were sent to over 1,000 folks on three Facebook pages, but my apologies, somehow I overlooked sending this post to CLARION website subscribers.

Twenty packed pages and a number of Holiday events for you to attend. As the year winds down do enjoy your holiday, stay safe and well, and Happy New Year – RAY BOAS, Publisher

A week away, and a tad earlier deadline than usual prompted by the Thanksgiving holiday quickly approaching, and also my printer’s holiday schedule. I negotiate the printing cycle a year ahead with them so the hardcopies are in the mail to be received by the first of the month.

Long way of saying that for the next issue of your CLARION, the closing date for the DECEMBER 2025 issue is 5 pm Walpole time, Thursday, November 20 – yes the 20th a week from right now.  As always, the earlier the better. Submission guidelines, and contact email are on the CLARION website.
