Rohnert Park Patch Wants to Hear Your Voice

Less than a day after we ran a story about how some Rohnert Park residents were displaced by the fire started by illegal fireworks July 4, Rohnert Park Patch received a blitz of phone calls and emails from people offering to help, and at least three people have come forth with donations.

The reader responses, comments on the article and emails served as the perfect reminder of what this site is all about: you, not us

Whether you want to help out a local charity, have a pothole complaint or have a question about a city policy, we promise we'll do whatever it takes to city officials to respond — or to let others know what you have to say. We at Patch believe it's diverse community voices that makes a place stronger and more civically engaged. 

We work hard to cover Rohnert Park across the board, but we don't get to everything. And we don't know what's important to you unless you tell us. If you see me around town, never hesitate to give me a yell and tell me what we're missing. 

But you can also write an op-ed column about an issue that's bugging you. And if you want to write regularly on Rohnert Park Patch, we're always looking for community bloggers to express themselves on any number of topics. Lastly, our events calendar and announcements section are free for anyone to use ().

Consider us your own little soapbox to tell your neighbors what's on your mind. Let's hear it!
