Dear Afton Vision Readers,

We are so pleased to share the second issue of the Afton newsletter with you.

So why the Name Change?

Although we liked reviving the name of an old Afton newspaper, it was decided that to avoid any possible conflict with the Tri Town News (whose publisher actually bought the old Afton Enterprise in the 1960s) we would create an original name.

The Afton Vision group is a small group of concerned citizens whose mission is : To remember Afton's past as we help build a livable future." In order to meet this mission, we meet monthly to discuss topics of interest and to organize local events. This newsletter is one of our current projects. We enjoy each other’s company, lively discussions, and great snacks (chocolate chip cookies are our specialty).

In an era that many print newspapers and magazines are being discontinued and only offering their readers online editions, the Afton Vision group publishes and mails this newsletter so we are assured to reach as many of our neighbors as we can!

Subscriptions to the The Afton Vision are free to all in the 13730 zip code.  Each issue of the newsletter costs about $500 in materials and mailing fees (printing has been donated.) Funding is by individual contribution. If you would like to support our efforts, you can contribute by sending a check made out to the “The Afton Vision” to: The Afton Vision, PO Box 143, Afton, NY 13730.  Contributions will be applied directly to the newsletter costs.

Business card size ads are now excepted and cost $25.

For free online subscriptions, email your request to: AftonVision@gmail.com
