Do more of the "news of the weird" crime stories---stupidity can be funny!

Michael,
I'd be happy to talk with you, and your parents, about writing a blog for Patch ... Please send me an email address and/or a phone number where I can reach you ... My direct e-mail address is Dan.Barger@patch.com It would be good to have some writing on the website from your perspective.

How can I become a reporter for Patch over the summer? I've been looking to get into journalism for awhile now. I'd like to volunteer to be a reporter, and if age matters, I am 14.

Prairie Road Acres is a non-profit organization located in the Wentzville, MO area. We have been serving the local community for 5 years as a camp / retreat ministry, hosting groups that serve people in need in the local community during their stay. In 2011 we are excited about adding horses to our mission so that we can offer equine therapy (horses helping families with special needs children), at no charge to the family. You can see more details about us on our web site at www.prairieroadacres.faithweb.com.

Our greatest need is to get the word out to local families with special needs children, letting them know about our services being offered at no charge, and asking them to participate, and to partner with us to get the word out about our new services staring spring and early summer, 2011. We are hoping that you might be able to help by making an announcement in the local Patch’s throughout the area.

Please let us know what might be possible through your organization.

Thank so much in advance for your kind attention to this request.

Sincerely,

Craig Arbogast
Director – Prairie Road Acres (PRA) Horses
