#ygkChallenge: Soapbox

Welcome to Kingstonist’s weekly challenge, dare, resolution or whatever you prefer to call it. Each week we establish a new and ambitious community goal, encouraging our readers, followers, friends and families to step out of their comfort zones and do something great, and hopefully a little out of the ordinary. Consider this your official and personal invitation to join us in completing a small but meaningful achievement. By taking part in this community-wide initiative, we hope to make Kingston a slightly better place to live, work and play. And of course, we also hope that you will feel proud of your contribution and achievement.

This week’s challenge encourages you to:

Write an OpEd for Kingstonist. Two year’s ago we started our Community Soapbox initiative as a means to accommodate random venting, and one-time contributions from our readers.  Submissions to the Community Soapbox don’t need to be long, but they do need to focused on something in the Limestone City.  If we publish yours, you’ll be rewarded with a free Kingstonist tee!
