Welcome to Wheaton Patch

We'll have local news, sports coverage and community features, just for Wheaton.

Hello and welcome to Wheaton Patch. I'm your local editor, Charlotte Eriksen.

I'm originally from Birmingham, MI and recently graduated with my masters in journalism from DePaul. I came to Wheaton in June with a big job ahead of me: learning all about you—what makes you tick, who's in charge, where people go to unwind and how much it costs to install a sewer system. There's more; I'm sure of it. 

I'm here for you. It is my full-time job to find out what the people of Wheaton want and need to know. On this site, you'll find daily updates on school and government news, sporting events, features, announcements and events. You'll find even more of that if you log in and contribute—news tips, announcements, obituaries and story comments.

I want and need your help so that I can provide coverage that reveals the clever, quirky, fun and thoughtful things you do here. I strongly believe that everyone—in every community—has a story worth writing. I hope to hear from you. You can reach me at 630-589-7732, or at charlotte@patch.com.

You can also find me on Facebook at Facebook.com/WheatonPatch, and Twitter at Twitter.com/WheatonPatch.
