An Editor's Farewell

In a little more than a week, I'll have reached my year anniversary with Patch, but I'll be celebrating the accomplishment in a new place. As we publish this Editor's Note, I am headed to Philadelphia to embark on a new Patch position as an associate local editor, working with several sites in Eastern Pennsylvania.

I thank you all for your continued readership, submitting news tips and corrections, and for choosing to live in a wonderful area that I've enjoyed covering for the past year.

I hope that you'll continue to read Kensington Patch every day and will welcome the new editor as you did me. You can rest assured the new editor will continue covering the town hall meetings, reporting on sector plan updates and attending community events with the help of the Kensington Patch freelance team. The new editor will start work soon, so be on the lookout for an Editor's Note introducing him.

In the interim, please feel free to contact Regional Editor Amy L. Kovac-Ashley (amyk@patch.com) with any questions or concerns, and I hope to meet you all again.
