St. Louis Film critic Mary K Morgan has joined the AT Staff to provide movie reviews for Arnold residents!  Mary has graciously offered to provide movie reviews for the latest offerings at the Arnold 14.  Mary writes for several newspapers in the area, and also publishes her reviews on GoPlacez.com

Mary's Movie reviews will be posted in the new Arnold Talk Columns section .  Do you want to write a column for AT?  Click here to find out how . 

I'm currently looking for freelace writers who are interested in writing for AT.  If you are looking to expand your exposure and can provide some good articles/stories for AT readers, please contact me (will at Arnold Talk dot com).

Some ideas:

• A computer guy could write an IT section each week about viruses, Windows Vista, etc
• A Mom could write about ways to keep your kids busy during the summer
  
• A school teacher could write about things the Fox district are doing. Summer school, field trips, etc
• A parent could write about their kids sports team
• A bookworm could review new books available at the library
• A coupon cutter could tell us about great deals from local merchants
