This Week in Social Media

Here at North Reading Patch, social media is a big deal. It's how we interact with you, answer your questions and get to see what's on your mind. Social Media Saturday is a weekly feature where we highlight your questions and thoughts you've shared on Facebook and other media throughout the past week. We'll also point you to some new and interesting pages you may not have known about before.

Here is a sampling of comments and happenings on our Facebook page and the social media world from the past week:

• When we asked what you thought about the proposed cell phone ban while driving, Jocelyn B Tait said, "Hands-free chat is no worse than having a passenger, and depending on the reason for the call, could actually improve safety. Texting while operating a motor vehicle is insanity." and let us know what you think.
• When we asked what you had planned last weekend, Carole McGillicuddy said, "Spirit of the Season Concert tonight performed by the North Reading Community Chorale at the on Park Street!"
• When we asked how your weekend was, Linnea Salie-Casino said, "Amazing! Went to see Arthur's Christmas yesterday (highly recommend) with the kids. Today sung excerpts of Handel's Messiah at Grace Chapel in Lexington then went with the family to see Peter Pan in Boston (very cool) topped off by dinner at the Cheesecake FTY (totally yummy). It was a pretty great weekend."

The North Reading Firefighter's Relief Association had a more active Facebook page this week. for their memorial at  and support the association.
