Patch Celebrates Its Anniversary in New Hyde Park

Patch launched a year ago today in New Hyde Park. Since that first day, we’ve been busy telling the stories of people, events and community services of importance to New Hyde Park residents.  

Some of our initial stories included the account of a World War II veteran remembering the attack on Pearl Harbor, a Chanukah celebration and a lesson on old-fashioned toys. School superintendent Robert Katulak wrote about how learning styles are changing in today’s classrooms.

It has been a very busy year. The effects of the August hailstorm were captured in photos provided by numerous Patch readers showing . 

We’ve covered the elections, reported on the grand opening of the King Kullen store,  numerous car accidents, sports and school news, from test results to tax-cap issues.

But Patch is as much about what residents have to say as our just reporting the news and what we know. Bloggers have spoken out in our Local Voices feature and we welcome more. Your opinions about everything are wanted, from what you think of several local restaurants to your thoughts on the SAT cheating scandal. Readers haven’t been shy about commenting or posting news and photos of events around New Hyde Park.

 We encourage you to continue to tell us about what’s important and what you’d like to know more about in New Hyde Park.
