Post Your Events and Announcements on Patch

As editor of Westchase Patch, I receive lots of emails each day from school groups, businesses and non profit organizations. Most of these messages are news releases or invitations to events.

Folks in our community are busy doing lots of great things and they want you to know about it. Unfortuntaely sometimes I can't ensure all of these events are posted.

That's where you come in.

It's really easy to post Events and Announcements on Patch. It's also free, and you don't need me as the middleman to get it accomplished.
