Happy Birthday Dover-Sherborn Patch

To all Dover-Sherborn Patchers,

Today marks one year to the day that Dover-Sherborn Patch was !

I just wanted to take this time to thank all of the people involved in helping make Dover-Sherborn Patch the success that it has become in such a short amount of time. I love that almost every time I go to a new event or game or meeting there is always someone I haven’t met who tells me how much they love having Patch as part of their community. And we love being a part of this community.

Who says not a lot goes on in Dover and Sherborn?

In my short time here we’ve covered , , , , , D-S sports – including the winning the state championship, , and a .

We've seen police officers being taken down , the Sherborn Fire Department using the 'Jaws of Life' to and turn into a .

So without further ado, I'd like to start off by thanking all of the freelancers, writers and photographers who helped contribute to the nearly 2000 articles that have been posted on the site since it launched.

Thank you to my co-workers including my fellow Local Editors and our fearless leader Mike Hardman. You guys have always been willing to lend a helping hand and I truly enjoy working with all of you.

I would especially like to thank you, our readers. I am not originally from this area and since Day 1 the people of Dover and Sherborn have made me feel like I have been a part of your community my whole life.

You have helped make our site the place to go for all things Dover and Sherborn, whether it be tipping us off about breaking news, letting us know about upcoming events or giving us your input about what is going on in town.

So for that I thank you.

Looking forward to another year at Dover-Sherborn Patch I am hoping to strengthen what we have already accomplished and report on more of what you want to see covered in both towns.

So once again, thank you to anyone who has ever clicked over here onto Dover-Sherborn Patch and I can't wait to see what lies in store for next year!

Sincerely,

Ben Paulin
