We have learned from subscriber reports that many subscribers did not properly receive their copy of the June 5 edition of the Addison Independent. We are so sorry for the interruption in your delivery!

Our subscription manager has dug into the program and learned that many papers were incorrectly routed to a further distribution hub by the USPS (our mail delivery partner), delaying their delivery to Addison County towns. They should be delivered today or tomorrow.

All subscribers are welcome to stop by our office at 58 Maple Street, Middlebury, to pick up a complimentary copy of last week's paper. We are also happy to add a complimentary week to your subscription, just call or email us to make that request.

The full PDF edition can also be read online by subscribers at the following link: https://www.addisonindependent.com/pdf-editions.

If you need help setting up your online account or any additoinal assistance, please call us at 802-388-4944 or email frontdesk@addisonindependent.com.
