About

Our 20-page publication features the organization’s news, stories from the wider community, and advertisements from local businesses.

History of the Clifton Chronicle
In 2001, Florine Postell spearheaded a CTM newsletter, rich in content and distributed to the entire community. Joined by Barbra Druffel and E.P. Harris for production support, the CTM Board of Trustees agreed to underwrite the effort. Fred Thomas and Sandy Cohan became editors in 2007 with Tom Lohre serving as production manager. Tom became editor and production manager the following year. In 2012, Vicki Black was hired to edit and publish the Chronicle. The newsletter expanded in 2021 with Jan Brown Checco serving as managing editor with designer/layout artist Josie Angel supporting publication. In 2024, Michael Moreland donated a strong lap as managing editor while bringing a much appreciated newsletter design refresh. His year of service concluded, the CTM committee maintains publication to the end of 2025 as we search for our next managing editor.
The Clifton Chronicle committee currently includes Jan Checco, Linda Fatherree, Leah Kottyan, Josie Angel and Gerald Checco. Clifton Chronicle Daily Facebook page is administered by Tom Lohre and Jan Checco. To get involved with these production teams, please click here and let us know what you’d like to do.
