Wanted: Community Reporters, news tipsters, local events

Normally writers don't include themselves in their reports. I thought it would be okay with my editor to make an exception today. Hopefully sharing my story will encourage you to consider joining me and the several other local Wisconsinite's here at BLOCKS.

I was privileged to became a community reporter with BLOCKS last summer, when the program was in it's infancy. I'm amazed at how it's grown and I enjoy reading articles that some of your neighbors and colleagues have written. I'm thankful to be a part of the team and FOX6 has been wonderful in working with me, guiding me along the way. Now is your chance to join us.

What is BLOCKS?
