Sharing Your Information With the Neighbors in McLean Patch

Recently several neighbors have asked how to share information with the rest of the neighbors.

One of the great things about McLean Patch, you can do that yourself. It's free. It's easy. You get to say exactly what you want to say. We're here to help if there's a problem.

Patch sites are designed in a way that is easy for the neighbors to post their own announcements and calendar items. The announcement will go out with the newletter delivered early every morning. 

Follow this video tutorial by another Patch Editor Carlos Villatoro to see how to do this, step by step.

If you want to just skip the video and get started right now, go to the top of the front page to the News tab. Choose Announcements, and look for that green button labeled "Annouce it to Everyone." Start filling in the form. Your announcement will be posted as soon as you hit "submit."

You can also submit your pictures from a community event, graduation, special day to the community gallery.

Thanks for contributing to Patch. Please send this article to other folks around town who could use this information!

If you have any problems, just send me a note bobbi.bowman@patch.com. We want to help.
