Dec. 22: Patch Needs Your Help

Here's what you can help Patch today, and always.

This week has been a little slower in terms of events because of the holidays. With that being said, instead of telling you five things that are going on in the community today, I’m going to tell you five things you can do to help improve Patch from now going forward.

1. Comment on articles: We love discussion and smart debate. We welcome reader comments about small issues we may have missed. Tell us about new initiatives, school accomplishments, neighborhood issues. Don't like our coverage? Tell us.

2. Add photos: We want your best shots. Add them to our gallery. You can also add photos to articles by clicking "Upload" near the photos we've featured.

3. Rate local businesses in the Directory: The Places tab features every business, school and organization in town. Use the section to find phone numbers, addresses, hours or to rate your experience there.

4. Make Announcements: Need volunteers? Got married? Lose a pet? Announce it in our announcements section so the community knows.
