This Week's Featured Blogger: Laurie Miller

Each week Puyallup Patch will feature our latest and greatest bloggers. Last week we welcomed Tiffany Elliott and Calvin Goings to our Local Voices section, but this week we chose to feature Laurie Miller, who has blogged on Patch for nearly a year!

Miller, a program manager for the Sumner Downtown Association, recently blogged about the upcoming All You Can Eat Crab and Oyster Stew Feed March 22, hosted by the Puyallup Rotary Club. Proceeds benefit the "Challenge Day" program at all three Puyallup High Schools.

"This award-winning  program (Challenge Day )brings a cross section of students together for a day to break down barriers and build a strong community," Miller wrote. "School administrators report that the program creates a much-improved student culture, which leads to less bullying, less student violence, and a stronger more cohesive student group."

Want to blog on Patch, too?

Puyallup Patch is looking for bloggers who’d like to share their local knowledge, personal expertise, political opinions, or hobbies. We want bloggers who can have readers walk away feeling challenged, inspired, happy, sad or further educated on a particular subject. Photo and video blogs are also encouraged!

Keep in mind that this is not a reporting gig. There’s no need to be a published author or someone who needs to be told what to write about. We want you to write about what you want and when you want.

Blogging on Patch is just one more way you can get involved with your community and spark important discussion.
