Hello Source readers,

This is Aaron Rubin, and I would like to introduce myself as the new correspondent for the paper beginning next year. I am a Madison native who has been with the Source's publisher, ShorePublishing, for nearly three years and was formerly the correspondent for the Valley Courier (Essex, Chester, and Deep River) and the recently closed Courier (East Haven and North Haven). This marks shift from two very different coverage areas into this new one and will require an education on the towns of Killingworth and Madison and its many affairs. Given this, I am open to the story all of you have that your fellow readers and community members should know about, and that I should know about, too. Please do not hesitate to inform me of town-related issues that could make for interesting stories, important meetings, and town-wide cultural events. Ultimately, I am excited to be reporting for Killingworth and my hometown of Madison and getting to know my own and neighboring community better. You can reach me at [email protected].
