A Thank You From Your Departing Editor

It is with a mixture of emotions I announce that after two-and-a-half years as your editor of the Miller Place-Rocky Point Patch, I will be moving on to a new role with Patch.

It has been my absolute pleasure to cover everything in the area over the past few years. Despite living here since I was seven years old, I had never had the chance to meet such wonderful people, so many of which dedicate so much of their time to the community, and I am grateful for meeting all of you.

I have had so many great experiences over the past few years and I will cherish them forever. I thank you all for letting me be your voice during that time.

As for my future plans, I am moving on to a great opportunity with Patch in Brooklyn. I am thrilled to remain with Patch, the organization that has done so much for me since earning my degree in 2010.

I am more than happy to hand over the site to two great, longtime Patch editors, Chrissy Sampson and Joseph Pinciaro. 

I still have plenty of family and friends in Miller Place and will still be around from time to time, so please feel free to stay in touch with me at rich.arleo@patch.com.

Thank you,

Rich Arleo
