FROM THE PUBLISHER: A holiday thank you on the eve of the Peninsula Home Fund campaign

During the 2008 holiday season, generous readers and supporters in Jefferson and Clallam counties raised a record-breaking $198,015.03 for the Peninsula Daily News’ Peninsula Home Fund.

Your donations went to work immediately in 2009 — and have been felt in powerful, meaningful ways in the lives of more than 1,780 families — about 3,500 individuals — on the North Olympic Peninsula.

Every dollar donated to the Peninsula Home Fund — 100 percent — goes directly to assist those in need in Jefferson and Clallam.

No money is diverted for administration or other overhead.

On behalf of our neighbors in need, we thank you.

The following are contributions received during the 2008 campaign, identified as requested by the donors:

• Name and donation.

• Those who requested that the amount of their donation be kept private.

• Those who requested anonymity (only their cities and donations are listed).
