When my family moved to Naperville, one of the things that appealed to us was the ‘small town feel’ with the ‘big city’ amenities. We were impressed with the school districts, the River Walk, and the vibrant restaurant and shopping scene. We couldn’t wait to explore the many parks and take advantage of all the recreational opportunities available through our neighborhood club, the park district and the YMCAs.
With so much to experience, keeping informed became a priority. I wanted to be ‘in the know’ about my new ‘little big’ town.
Fast forward 20 years, and I’m proud to work for a nonprofit organization whose mission is to keep residents informed about what’s happening in their community.

And, if you’re a sports fan like me, you can sign up at that same link to receive Football Fridays. A five-minute highlight video recapping all the Friday night gridiron action at our six local high schools. It’s delivered to your inbox by 7 AM on Saturday morning so by the time you’re done drinking your coffee you can confidently discuss the games with your neighbor.
To help us keep you informed, please send us your news tips or story ideas. Don’t be shy! We can’t provide coverage for what we don’t know about so please keep us in-the-know and send your information to newstips@nctv17.com or sports@nctv17.com.
