Dear Subscriber,

More than a week has gone by since the devastating earthquake in Haiti, and aid is finally reaching those who need it. Down East has always been an advocate for supporting those in need, and we proudly work with many organizations that share this same vision. But the time has come for us to do more and we ask that you join us in doing so now. Purchase any book, calendar or a subscription from our online store between now and February 12, and Down East will donate 5% of the proceeds from each Maine-based purchase to the Clinton-Bush Haiti fund.

Simply click on the links below to make your purchase and help bring food, shelter and other relief supplies to those who desperately need it.

Thank you from all of us at Down East.

In addition to 5% of book, calendar and subscription proceeds, Down East is donating:

• 5% of all newsstand sales from the April issue
  
• 5% of all proceeds from our retail store through Feb. 12, 2010
  
• 5% of all advertising sales from the April issue
  
• 100% company match of any Down East employee donation
