Update #4: Thank You!
Dear Friends, Readers and Supporters,
As many of you know, TheZenchilada did not meet its Kickstarter goal to produce issue #4 in print in the time needed. We are so grateful to all of you for your willingness to contribute to that effort.
And we are delighted to report that while that effort didn’t bear fruit, another possibility has appeared. We are in the process now of pursuing new options to produce that issue (The Saffron Trail) in a digital format, and to ensure the longterm continuance of TheZenchilada.com.
There will be a pause here as we work out the nuts and bolts of all this, then we’ll be sending a notice to everyone on our email list when we’re hot off the ether-presses again. If you are not already on our email list, please sign up at www.thezenchilada.com/mail_list.html. (And tell your friends and neighbors, too!)
Thank you so much for choosing to back our project. Your support of our work means a great deal to us … in whatever format we continue.
Pat West-Barker, Ronni Lundy, Barbara Walzer and Fernando Delgado
