Block Club magazine is made by its community. Our team has always been small, agile and diverse of talent. As we say goodbye to the magazine, we look forward as we shift our time to our branding and strategy clients. The work that made this magazine happen—six times a year for four years, four times a year for four—has required an extended family of contributors. Together, we told stories that we found interesting and compelling, and thought you might, too. We are proud to have paid our contributors for their hard work; in return they offered their tenacity, creativity, scrutiny and passion, ensuring the highest quality for our readers and reputation. Thank you for all that you gave to our pages: Shea Akers, Ann Marie Awad, Lauren Barnett, E.R.
