The Power of Patch: Plug Into Your Community

If you are involved in a group, organization, school or business, or just are full of opinions and ideas, you need to get the word out but you may wonder how to go about it in this new digital age.

• Do you want to reach your fellow community members?
• Want to get the word about your event or organization?
• Do you need more volunteers?
• Do you want to just voice your thoughts on community issues?
• Does the thought of getting your information online just overwhelm you?

Let Patch help you. Our friendly Patch editors will plug you in to the power of Patch and sharing information online.

Patch is hosting a FREE community workshop at Libertyville’s Cook Park Library at 7 p.m. Monday, _May 23. Come get advice on how to spread the word about information that is important to you.

We will show you step-by-step how to:

• Set up a Patch account
• Upload content and photos
• Pitch your idea to Patch editors
• Put events on the calendar
• Have your own community forum page

 We will also be discussing Patch’s new "Local Voices" platform, so if you like to write and are passionate about your community, join us at the event.

Join us for this completely free event. We'd love for you to RSVP but also feel free to just show up!

Bring your laptop (if you have one; no worries if you don't) and we'll bring snacks and free Patch stuff for you.
