Readers Share Your Thoughts, Opinions on Naperville Patch
Naperville Patch offers readers a number of ways to have their voices heard.

You know the cliché, opinions are like belly buttons, everybody has one. We know our readers have opinions and topics they feel strongly about. Here at Naperville Patch we want to encourage a diversity of voices and opinions.
We offer readers a few different ways to share their thoughts and opinions. The simplest way is to comment on a story. For those readers who feel like making a more formal response to a story, or possibly sharing a viewpoint on an issue, we want to encourage those readers to consider writing a letter to the editor.
How can a reader share a letter to the editor? Easy, send it to us through e-mail. Send your letters to the editor to Mary Ann Lopez at maryl@patch.com or Carrie Frillman at carrie@patch.com.

Another way to share an opinion or just an interest is by blogging on Naperville Patch. This week we launched our Local Voices section where locals who have something to share are invited to blog.
