Six Reasons to Post an Announcement on Manasquan-Belmar Patch

Use our free Announcement Board to share news about nuptials, anniversaries, births, fundraisers, volunteer opportunities, and lost-and-found notices.

Newly married? Share the good news with the community by using our new free Announcement Board  Don't forget to include photos of the happy couple's first dance or a funny shot of the entire wedding party! It will be featured on the homepage and in our email newsletter.

Here are five other reasons to use the Announcement Board:

1. Share the beautiful news of the birth of your baby. And yes, we definitely want to see the photos! 

2. Announce the sports team's big win -- and tell us where and when the next game is. Give a pat on the back to the coach and the players. Be sure to upload a team photo. 

3. Fundraising for a special cause? Use Patch to spread the word and tell others the different ways they can join in. It's free! 

4. Put a call out for volunteers.  Tell them where and when to show up, and give contact information.

5. Increase the odds of finding your missing pet or reuniting a found one with its family by posting a lost/found announcement (with a picture). Our caring Patch readers can be so helpful.
