Lindenhurst Patch Celebrates One Year Live

It was today Lindenhurst Patch launched. And what year it's been!

This was quite an undertaking, and the Lindenhurst community was quite welcoming and happy that Patch was going to cover it. And it didn't hurt that a was going to be at the helm.

A year after launch I'm still thrilled to be covering my hometown, the place where I grew up and met my husband, and the community I still call home.

I want to thank the community and its in government, schools, business and civics for embracing Lindenhurst Patch.

Without the residents of Lindenhurst and readers of Patch, this site wouldn't be as successful as it is today, a year after launching. Your support has been greatly appreciated.

The website would also not be possible without the guidance of Regional Editor Greg Sleter, Associate Regional Editor Ryan Bonner, Senior Regional Editor David Reich-Hale and the work of Advertising Manager Barbara Pescuma, Calendar Editor Caryn Jenkin and all of the site's contributors.

Looking Back
Taking a look back over the past year, there've been quite a few that happened in our backyard.

These headlines run the gamut from schools and sports to crime, government and business, and are part of a cache of a little more than 1,800 stories that have been posted to the site - all focusing on the Lindy community.

Now here's a sampling of some of those stories, in no particular order:

Hope you enjoyed this walk down memory lane, and hope you continue to log onto Lindenhurst Patch in its second year - and well beyond.
