The Cortez Journal will publish information about events organized by individuals to benefit others who are in need of financial assistance because of an unforeseen emergency. All such notices must include the name and phone number of a contact person responsible for the fundraiser. Each notice will run once in a Saturday edition of the Journal. The Journal cannot be responsible for verifying the financial circumstances of those who may benefit from contributions to these events, and will not run requests to contribute to a bank account opened for such a purpose.
