A quick word and update
Hey, folks. We hope you've managed to hit some events and you've been having a good time. Pictured is Greg, who won my jar of homemade pickles. Thanks for all the folks who have signed up for Press Club. And thanks to our three corporate sponsors we added: Citizens State Bank, Union State Bank, and Choose Newton. We're excited to see some of their associated staff join the crowd. You're going to see a short survey in this newsletter. Please take a few minutes to tell us what you'd like to see. Also go ahead and jump on our page here to make sure we get you signed up.

We're organizing a group outing Friday, Aug. 12, to Acapulco to start the weekend off right. Buy yourself a margarita, a taco or four and join us. We'll start at 6:30 p.m.

Must RSVP here to attend so Acapulco has a good count of people to prepare to serve and we can all sit together.

Why join Press Club?

1. It represents an additional way to support Harvey County Now. It's a premium subscription that says, "I'm willing to do a little extra to support award-winning reporting, community features, and locally owned and operated journalism that is no longer present in most communities."

2. It provides a pile of opportunities for people to have fun for the hell of it. And we think Newton needs that.
Over the years, we've noticed there are not a lot of chances to get together and socialize that don't involve church, volunteering or some sort of charitable activity in Newton.
This group fills that gap.
Join Press Club and you'll be in a group aimed at doing just that. Monthly mingles? Boom. Regional outings and trips? Boom. Forums aimed at discussing hot-button issues? Boom, as well.
If that doesn't move the needle, there's also a cool shirt and discounts on all the other public events we host.
Just give it a try, come to an event, hang out with cool people and see if this is for you. We're betting it is.

How do I join Press Club?

There are two steps. First, your household must subscribe to a one-year (or longer) subscription to Harvey County Now. Then, the first person in your household (21 and older, please) who would like to be a Press Club member will pay an annual $60 (plus tax) membership fee, and any other people in your household will pay an annual $30 (plus tax) membership fee.

We have multiple people in our household who would like to join Press Club. How does that work?

You should maintain a one-year (or longer) subscription for your entire household. Then, the first membership for people living at that address will be the full $60 (plus tax), and any subsequent people living at that address will be $30 (plus tax) For example, if you’re a two-person household, your total annual buy-in for Press Club will be $60 (plus tax) for a one-year subscription, $60 (plus tax) for person one and $30 (plus tax) for person two. That’s only $150 (plus tax) for a whole year. Easy peasy.

What benefits do I get from Press Club?

First of all, you have access to all Press Club events. These include monthly mingles at local businesses where you’ll get a chance to meet other local people, enjoy some snacks and beverages and maybe win some door prizes. Other events include quarterly field trips, organized dinners, or other get-togethers, plus access to discounted events or other perks. Second, you will get our Press Club newsletter, which will keep you up to date on everything going on in Newton and the rest of the county. Third, you’ll be a part of supporting one of the largest locally owned newsrooms in the State of Kansas.

Where does my membership money go?

Some of your membership dollars will go toward supporting Press Club activities, and the rest all goes towards supporting local, community journalism in Harvey County. You help maintain the jobs of local journalists and aid us in creating local coverage of issues, events, and people.

What if I already have a subscription to Harvey County Now?

First of all, let us say that you’re clearly one smart cookie. If you are already a subscriber, we’ll prorate your current subscription along with your Press Club membership so that you will get a renewal notice for both at the same time. It’s easier for you and for us. Contact Tommy here for more information.

Can my employer pay for this on my behalf?

Absolutely. Many employers view groups like Press Club as an important benefit and retention tool. Contact us for more information or have your employer reach out, and we’ll be happy to set up billing for them.

This FAQ is awful, and I still have questions. What should I do?
