Join Stratford Patch at the Library Thursday

Whether you’re a resident, business owner, a nonprofit employee or a town official, Stratford Patch was created as a platform where you can connect with your community. The site exists for you, and because of you.

And while Patch is a daily destination for many, there are still some folks in Stratford who don’t know about us. Even some of our most loyal followers may not be aware of all the site has to offer.

A community outreach event on Nov. 10 aims to fix that. Come meet the staff of Stratford Patch on that day, from 5 to 7 p.m., . We'll start with a quick presentation and then open it up to questions and a workshop on how to use Patch.

At the event -- aside from noshing on complimentary refreshments -- you’ll:

• Learn how to post events like fundraisers, concerts, wine tastings and tag sales.
• Create announcements for Letters to the Editor, a new business opening, a new staff member, if your child makes honor roll, or if there’s a birth or death in your family.
• Rate and review local businesses, from car dealers to restaurants and doctors.
• Find out about how to join our Local Voices section.

You’ll also have an opportunity to meet other members of the community as well as the Stratford Patch staff:

• Stratford Patch Editor Jason Bagley
• Associate Regional Editor Anthony Karge
• Regional Editor Gary Jeanfaivre
• Calendar Editor Pam Landry
• Regional Publisher Jeff Williams
• Advertising Manager Kevin Stagg

The best way we can serve you is for you to join the conversation. So come to Stratford Library on Nov. 10 and learn how to get started. We look forward to seeing you there!
