Many heart-felt thanks and a bouquet of roses to our four sponsors without whom Under the Sun would just not exist. Rösle Zoller pays for the monthly fees to keep our website running; she takes care of the call-for-submission ads we run with Poets and Writers, and pays for some of the website design fees. Jere Mitchum, Suellen Alfred, and Martha Highers foot most of the bill for this year’s new website.
We love you guys and greet you with
many, many thanks! We couldn’t
exist without you!
