While many things can bring a community together, Robyn Docken has found nothing bonds neighbors and friends, quite like a local paper.
     "People are always either bopping in my front door or bopping in my back door and saying oh yeah this, I thought you might want it in the chat," Docken said.
   That's because Docken is the publisher of Robyn's Table Chat, a small publication she produces to serve the communities of southern Trempealeau county.
   "It's kind of local, comes out every two weeks, it's free, might be a little reflection on history," she said.
But, don't call it her paper.
   "I love the fact that it's not my paper, it's my name," she said.
   She says the chat is a community effort, with plenty of volunteers to lend a hand.
    "Everybody contributes, you know, there's very few things in here that are totally mine and I get lots of help... with a living room I lost a long time ago," Docken said.
   That living room now serves as an office, a place she uses to organize all the local events, community history, and news she comes across, into the bi-weekly publication.
   "It's just fun, it's been a delight, it's work I can't say it's not work," Docken said.
    Because not only does she write and publish 14 to 16 hundred copies of the chat, she delivers them too.
   "I walk into a place, especially a coffee place that knows that I deliver that day, it's like they're all waiting, they want their copy," she said.
      Docken says she works hard to balance her coverage of the area, including the interests of communities both, large and small.
     "Your giving something to a community you've lived in all your life," she said.
     Discovering history that's been forgotten and the stories of those who lived it.
