Power of Patch: Plug Into Your Community

Do you want to reach your fellow community members?

Want to get the word about your event or organization?

Do you need more volunteers?

Or do you want to just voice your thoughts on community issues?

Does the thought of getting your information online just overwhelm you?

Let Libertyville Patch help you. Editor Chi-an Chang will be joined by Lake Forest-Lake Bluff Editor Jim Powers and Grayslake Editor Marcia Sagendorf to 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 to answer your questions and more at 7 p.m. May 23.

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

We'd love for you to RSVP, but also feel free to just show up! RSVPs can be email to Chi-an.Chang@Patch.com

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