Dear , welcome to The Tico Times 5% Club!
You're receiving this email because you donated to The Tico Times and, in so doing, became a part of our mission to serve as a source of independent, unique and quality journalism in Costa Rica and Central America. As you know, we are working every day to connect people around the world who are interested in our country and region, and to build a sustainable, ethical and environmentally responsible media organization.
Your support makes that possible.
It also moves us toward our goal of enlisting five percent of our readers as subscribers in 2019. This would make us a fully reader-funded organization and allow us to do much more of the work you love.On the first of each month, we'll be sending you a quick update on what you've helped us achieve during the past month and exclusive resources for you as subscribers. Here's what happened in January 2019:
You funded some amazing stories.If you missed some of the stories fully funded by you, our Five Percent Club members, in January, check them out here:
We made a place online just for you. If you use Facebook, please join our Tico Times Five Percent Club private group so you can access the exclusive content we'll be sharing with you as a subscriber over the coming months. We'd love to hear your questions and suggestions there, and starting in February, we'll be doing weekly Facebook Live broadcasts in the private group so we can hear from you directly. Stay tuned!
We started working on exclusive content you'll receive in February. From a free PDF of our print editions to exclusive e-books and behind-the-scenes looks at our work, we are gearing up to show you just how much your support means to us.
Thank you for being a part of our work and please spread the word. We need to reach 4,834 additional subscribers to meet our Five Percent goal in 2019, so please tell friends who love Costa Rica, great journalism or adorable sloth videos to join the club! Monthly donations are most helpful for us since it supports our monthly planning, but one-time donations are greatly appreciated as well!Sincerely,Katherine Stanley, Managing Editor[email protected]
