LETTERS TO THE EDITOR POLICY

Letters to the Editor Policy
 

  • The word-count limit for letters is 350, including signatures (with exceptions at the discretion of the editor).
  • Letters may be edited for length, style, and clarity.
  • Email letters to editor@harvardpress.net with “Letter to the Editor” in the subject line, or send by regular mail to Editor, The Harvard Press, P.O. Box 284, Harvard, MA 01451. Deadline is 5 p.m. Tuesday to be included in that Friday's edition.
  • Letters should include your name, address, and phone number. Phone numbers and house numbers will not be printed; they are used only for verification.
  • We will not print anonymous letters, form letters, blanket-mail letters, or letters that we consider libelous.
  • We will not print more than one letter from the same person in any given week.
  • Letters must be signed by individuals; we do not accept group names as signatures. Up to four people may sign a letter on behalf of a group; all must provide addresses and phone numbers.
  • During contests for public office, we will not publish endorsement letters the Friday before an election. Based on space availability, we may limit the number of endorsement letters in a given week, but will strive to print a balanced representation of letters received. We will not publish negative letters about any candidate.
  • All letters may be read online by Harvard Press subscribers who are logged-on registered users of the website.

With the community’s help, Lions give to hunger relief

The Harvard Lions have focused their early grant-giving efforts to organizations that offer hunger relief in our local communities.

We are pleased to announce we recently distributed nearly $18,000 to these local organizations: Loaves & Fishes, Devens; Community Harvest, Harvard; Stone Soup Kitchen Ministries, Ayer; Gaining Ground, Concord; Project New Hope, Worcester; and Mustard Seed, Worcester.

This is only possible through the community’s support of our fundraising activities. We thank you for this support. We hope to see you at our community-focused health and wellness fair on Saturday, March 21, at Hildreth Elementary School. More details can be found at www.harvardlions.com on our events and our mission.
