Looking for a Way to Announce a Recent Birth?

Take advantage of the Announcement section on St. Clair Shores Patch to share the big news

They say a baby is born somewhere in the world every minute. Therefore, if you take the number of people in St. Clair Shores and divide it by the number of seconds in a minute and you do that while traveling on a train from Chicago to New York at 75 mph, you get the number of babies born each day in St. Clair Shores.

Wait, that's not right. Math was never my strength.

The point is St. Clair Shores residents and their family members are having babies each day and St. Clair Shores Patch wants to give friends and families an opportunity to announce those births to the world.
