OK, so the heart and soul of The Andover Beacon is the hundreds of newspapers we drop off at the Post Office almost every month, one paper for every mailing address in Andover and East Andover.

But did you know that we also mail about 300 individually-addressed copies to households and businesses around the region … and all across the country?

Are you an Andover “ex-pat,” living and working elsewhere but still looking for a connection to your hometown? A subscription to The Andover Beacon will keep you connected!

A seasonal resident who doesn’t want to miss out on everything about Andover … except the harsh winters? Subscribe to the Beacon, and let us know which months you want the paper mailed to your out-of-town address.

A proud resident of Andover who wants to share the joys of life in a small New England community with friends or loved ones who aren’t lucky enough to live here? You can give a gift subscription to the Beacon and open their eyes to why you call Andover home.

It only costs $30 per year to have the Beacon mailed to an out-of-town address all year long. You can mail the form on page 4 of this issue with a check, or you can visit AndoverBeacon.com/Subscribe to do the deal online. (If it’s a gift or seasonal subscription, be sure to include the extra information we’ll need in the Special Instructions section.)

If you can send more than $30, the “extra” is a very helpful donation to our nonprofit community newspaper, and it’s tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

We’re proud of The Andover Beacon and how it connects our readers to our community … wherever those readers may be. If you’d like to share the Beacon experience at an out-of-town address, please subscribe!
