Join Your Favorite Patch Editors for Patch Academy

Mark your enlightenment calendars for April 10, 2013 and head on over to the Access Nashua TV studio in Nashua to learn everything you need to know about your favorite online news and information hub, Patch.com.

Carolyn Dube, Local Editor for Merrimack Patch and Carol Robidoux, Local Editor Nashua Patch, are cordially inviting you to join us from 6:30-8 p.m.

Space is limited to 12 seats, so sign up today via EventBrite.

Here's why you won't want to miss this:

• We are so much more than news

We want to show you, our readers, what makes Patch such a great addition to your community. We'll show you how to upload photos and videos to our Patch sites, post letters to the editors and community announcements, use our business directory, and introduce you to Local Voices where people from the community can have their own blogs to write about things they are passionate about.

• Learn the secret to social media sharing

Maybe it's not a secret, but there is a trick to using social media, and we want to share with you how Patch makes the most of Facebook and Twitter to share our stories and interact with readers, one of our specialties.

• Live Q&A session

Please bring your questions and ideas, because we are always looking for great ways to connect with the community. Patch Academy is open to everyone (that can fit in the studio) and is free, so please stop by, talk with us and learn about all of the great ways that Patch can serve you and your community.

As we mentioned, seating is limited to about 12 people, so we've created an Eventbrite ticket to keep track of registrations. Please register here. Did we mention it's free?

The session will be broadcast on Access Nashua, Nashua's community TV station, at a later date for your home viewing pleasure. Episodes are also available for online viewing.

• Light refreshments will be served

Free food, free information, free admission – it's a win-win-win.
